MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
CYR, District Judge.
The complaint alleges a deprivation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and a violation of the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment by the defendants acting under color of state law. The defendants assert that the cause of action brought under section 1983 is barred by the applicable statute of limitations and that the independent cause of action asserted under the fourteenth amendment fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
Jurisdiction is invoked under title 28 United States Code, sections 1331 (federal question)…
