Case Notes
Civil Rights Violations.
Bail bondsman was not a state actor when he filed an affidavit requesting a plaintiff's arrest under this section and, therefore, was entitled to a judgment as a matter of law on claim that he deprived plaintiff of his civil rights, under § 16-123-105. Dean v. Olibas, 129 F.3d 1001 (8th Cir. 1997).
