Is there any federal or constitutional right violated by the actions of Lewis?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Watkins v. Lynch, No. 2:20-cv-1360 DB P (E.D. Cal. 2021):

a 1983 claim. Plaintiff has not identified, and the court is unaware of any federal or constitutional right violated by the actions as set forth in the complaint. Franklin v. Terr, 201 F.3d 1098, 1100 (9th Cir. 2000) ("To state a claim under 1983 plaintiff must allege that (1) he was deprived of a right secured by the Constitution or federal law; and (2) the defendant acted 'under color of state authority' in depriving the plaintiff of this right."). Accordingly, plaintiff has failed to state a claim against Lewis.
