“Actions may be brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against state actors to enforce rights created by federal statutes and the Constitution.... In order to bring a claim under section 1983, a plaintiff must allege that (1) the defendant was acting “under color of state law” at the time the conduct complained of occurred, and (2) that the conduct deprived the plaintiff of “ ‘rights, privileges or immunities secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States.’ ””
