Civil Rights--State Action Is a Requirement for the Application of Section 1985 (3) to First Amendment Rights

Malpass, Susan C.

North Carolina Law Review, 54, 4, 677-85, Apr 76

In Bellamy v. Masons's Stores, Inc., the Fourth Circuit of Appeals held that section 1985 (3) of the Ku Klux Klan Act displayed a congressional intent that state action be required for an action based on a conspiracy to deprive first amendment rights. The decision is examined in regard to Griffin v. Breckenridge. For journal availability see HE 508 808. (LBH)
