An excerpt:

Asserting a claim pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3), Raymond DePerry alleges in his amended complaint defendants fired him as the Executive Director of the Red Cliff Chippewa Housing Authority (“the Authority”) as a result of their conspiracy to interfere with the civil rights of the Authority’s tenants. Defendants, the Authority’s seven-member Board of Commissioners, responded with the instant motion to dismiss that complaint for failure to state a legally-cognizable claim. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). The court finds that DePerry’s amended complaint contains no allegation or inference of a conspiracy to deprive anyone of civil rights, nor of any class-based animus held by defendants, and will therefore grant defendants’ motion to dismiss.
