1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
In this civil rights suit Oscar B. Mclnnis, formerly district attorney for Hidalgo County, Texas, appeals a jury award of $90,000 for damages for conspiring to murder Noe Villanueva. 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 1 Mclnnis contends that the complaint failed to state a claim, that the district judge should have recused himself, and that Villanueva failed to prove a conspiracy, action under color of state law or a deprivation of any constitutional rights. Persuaded that Villanueva failed to prove that he was deprived of a constitutional right, we reverse.
