Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge TATEL.
TATEL, Gireuit Judge.
This appeal presents a single issue: whether the district court erred in concluding that the appellant, who claims he was unlawfully arrested by a special police officer employed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, could not maintain a cause of action against the officer under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Because we agree that the officer did not act under color of District of Columbia law, we affirm the summary judgment order in his favor.
