McCallup v. Weyerhaeuser Co
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-60406 Summary Calendar
VERONICA MCCALLUP,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 3:02-CV-252-WS
October 28, 2002
Before GARWOOD, JOLLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Veronica McCallup, Mississippi prisoner no. K1256, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of her civil rights action pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) for failure to state a claim.
On appeal, McCallup has abandoned the allegations in her
complaint regarding her eviction, the loss of bonding money, and
the loss of money to a car dealership by failing to brief these
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R.47.5 the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. issues. See Yohey v. Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224-25(5th Cir.
1993). We need not address the new issues McCallup attempts to
raise before this court. See Leverette v. Louisville Ladder Co.,
183 F.3d 339, 342(5th Cir. 1999). With respect to McCallup’s
assertion that she was deprived of certain property rights relating
to timber, she stated that the land on which the timber was located
is owned by a corporation. This corporation has not been named as
a party to this action. Further, the factual allegations of the
complaint do not suffice to suggest any likelihood of the presence
of state action and action under color of state law as required for
all claims under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. See, e.g., American Mfrs. Mut.
Ins. Co. v. Sullivan,
119 S.Ct. 977, 985-89(1999). Nor do the
allegations of the complaint tend to show with respect to any
complained of deprivation of property rights that Mississippi’s
postdeprivation remedies are inadequate. See Hudson v. Palmer,
468 U.S. 517, 533(1984); Nickens v. Melton,
38 F.3d 183, 185-86(5th
Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
