Kelly Vanfossen v. Jay Saxton

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Kelly Vanfossen v. Jay Saxton, 109 F. App'x 850 (8th Cir. 2004)

Kelly Vanfossen v. Jay Saxton

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Kelly Ann Vanfossen appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against two state public defenders and the public defender’s office. Vanfossen alleged that her public defenders had not effectively represented her during state criminal proceedings. The district court dismissed Vanfossen’s complaint after determining that her public defenders had not acted under color of state law. Having carefully reviewed the record and the applicable legal authority, we find no error in the district court’s disposition of this matter. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
