City marshal who "accompanied" a fired worker off the premises of a private company owned by the city mayor did not act under color of law in doing so. Joint activities of mayor and marshal did not constitute a "conspiracy" sufficient to support federal civil rights liability. Marshal's mere presence did not violate fired employee's rights and he did not use force or take employee into custody, but rather merely "stood by" in case a disturbance developed. Staudinger v. Hoelscher, Inc., 166 F. Supp. 2d 1335 (D. Kan. 2001). [N/R]
