1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiffs in this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seek to recover for the death of their grandmother as an alleged result of beatings sustained in a nursing home. The district court dismissed the action for want of federal jurisdiction. Although we find that the district court had jurisdiction, we affirm the dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6), holding that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate the state action or nexus that is a prerequisite to their claim for relief.
