The following excerpt is from Stone v. City of Prescott, 173 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 1999):
2 Plaintiffs mention but do not press their 1985 claim on this appeal. However, our affirmance of summary judgment on plaintiffs' 1983 claim also disposes of their 1985 claim. See Giannini v. Real, 911 F.2d 354, 359 (9th Cir.1990) (stating that "deprivation of federal constitutional rights is a necessary element" of an alleged conspiracy under 1985).
