Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ELY, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is from dismissal of a suit based upon sections of the Civil Rights Acts, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1988 and 28 U.S.C. § 1343. Our jurisdiction is conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
The ground for dismissal of the action was given as lack of jurisdiction over the persons of the defendants. The district court clearly erred in so basing the dismissal, and appellees do not here contend that no personal jurisdiction existed. The issue which should have been met is whether the appellant (plaintiff) stated a claim upon which relief could possibly be granted.
