1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:
At issue in this case is whether a class of black tenants of a Dallas, Texas housing project may sue its HUD-subsidized private owners for violations of Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(e) (since repealed). We agree with the magistrate judge’s conclusion that there is no implied private right of action under § 1437f(e) and that violations of § 1437f(e) are not actionable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The judgnent denying relief against the apartment owners on this basis is affirmed.
