1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Chief Judge:
Sidney Wong appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his § 1983 and § 1985 claims against Garden Park Community Hospital, a private institution, the executive director of the hospital, and various members of the medical staff and board of directors. We affirm, finding that Dr. Wong’s complaint alleges no facts which, if proven, would support a finding of state action in the hospital’s revocation of his staff privileges. Further, we find that Dr. Wong’s complaint implicates the deprivation of no right which does not require state action as a component.
