Maurice R. Dyer v. Bert M. Rosenberg

Maurice R. DYER, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Bert M. ROSENBERG, Defendant-Appellee

Dyer v. Rosenberg, 434 F.2d 648 (9th Cir. 1970)

Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · U.S. Courts of Appeals
Decided: November 25, 1970
Docket: No. 25259_1
Judges: Browning, Duniway, Per Curiam, Trask
Citations: 434 F.2d 6481970 U.S. App. LEXIS 6244

Opinion — Per Curiam

PER CURIAM:

Dyer retained Rosenberg, an attorney, to defend him in a California criminal prosecution. Dyer was convicted and appealed. He alleges that his appeal was dismissed because Rosenberg failed to file an opening brief on appeal. The District Court dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and we affirm.

Dyer rests jurisdiction on 28 U.S.C. § 1343 , which confers jurisdiction of actions for violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S.C. § 1983 . That section does not apply here. Rosenberg was not acting “under color of” state law. Kregger v. Posner, E.D.Mich. 1966, 248 F.Supp. 804, 806 . See also Mulligan v. Schlachter, 6 Cir., 1968, 389 F.2d 231, 233 , where the defendant had been the plaintiff’s court-appointed counsel in the state case.

Affirmed.
