Description
This case is here via interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1292(b) (1988) and concerns whether the district court had jurisdiction to address Mr. Tiltons 42 U.S.C. 1985(3) (1988) claim. Mr. Tilton, who is a pastor, alleges that the Appellees, motivated solely by religious considerations, conspired to destroy his ministry by slander and libel in violation of his First, Fourteenth, and Fifth Amendment rights. The district court dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). Mr. Tilton alleges the six Appellees/Defendants were private individuals acting in their individual capacities. None were alleged to be state actors, although as hereinafter discussed, all were alleged to have acted to influence state action. Mr. Tilton appeals; we accept jurisdiction and now affirm.
