OPINION OF THE COURT
NYGAARD, Circuit Judge.
McKeesport Hospital brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (the “ACGME”) and the Executive Secretary of its residency review committee for surgery, alleging that their withdrawal of the accreditation of the Hospital’s general surgery residency program violated due process. The district court entered a preliminary injunction blocking the accreditation withdrawal. Because we conclude that the ACGME’s conduct was not state action, we will reverse.
