Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HUG, Circuit Judge:
An association of pleasure craft owners brought this action, claiming the publicly owned marina at which they moored their boats was operated in a manner that violated federal law. They contended the imposition of unreasonable rates that created profit potential for the marina constituted a deprivation of federal statutory rights in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We do not consider the merits of these claims. We conclude that section 1983 does not provide a cause of action to remedy the violations alleged by these plaintiffs.
