“injury to the person or rights of another not arising from contract,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It has been settled for nearly one hundred years that the proscription of the Fourteenth Amendment applies only to such action as may be attributed to the states, and does not inhibit, of its own force, the conduct of private individuals. The Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3 , 3 S.Ct. 18 , 27 L.Ed. 835 (1883). The state action requirement of the Fourteenth Amendment is functionally equivalent to the requirement of § 1983 that the challenged conduct be “under color of state law”. [Citations omitted.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“essential nature of the (civil rights) claim is the interference with . . . not a breach of a contractual obligation.”
