Chudacoff v. UNIV. MED. CENTER OF SOUTHERN NEVADA (2011)

Ctr. of S. Nev., 649 F.3d 1143 , 1149 (9th Cir. 2011) (“To establish § 1983 liability, a plaintiff must show both (1) deprivation of a right secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States, and (2) that the deprivation was committed by a person acting under color of state law.”).

But “[a] 19 motion to amend under Rule 15(a)(2) ‘generally shall be denied only upon showing of bad faith, 20 undue delay, futility, or undue prejudice to the opposing party.” Chudacoff, 649 F.3d at 1152. 21 None of these factors apply here. 22 a) Reasons for rejecting amendment are inapplicable here. 23 First, S.A.S.’s proposed amendments do not appear to be in bad faith.

The Ninth Circuit instead held that the individual defendant’s “mere non-voting membership,” absent any additional facts, was 25 “insufficient to show that she was an ‘integral participant’ in the deprivation of [the plaintiff’s] rights.” See id. at 1151 (emphasis added) (quoting Boyd v. Benton County, 374 F.3d 773 , 780 26 (9th Cir. 2004)). 1 that the individual Defendants caused the Board to not renew his privileges; he must show that 2 they caused the Board to not renew h…

Dep’t of Health Servs., 939 F.2d 881, 883 (9th Cir. 1991)); and when “a publicly financed hospital . . . leased its management and operation to a private corporation.” Chudacoff, 649 F.3d at 1150 (citation omitted).

In Chudacojf v. University Medical Center of South Nevada, the Ninth Circuit described the defendant hospital as public “through and through,” because it was “controlled and managed” by the state and the defendants’ authority “flow[ed] directly from the state.” 649 F.3d at 1150.

Chudacoff, 649 F.3d at 1149 (recognizing the mere fact that a private hospital or physicians are “subject to state regulation does not by itself convert its action into that of the State,” absent a sufficiently close nexus between the challenged action and the state).
