: Appellate Law and PracticeCA1: 1983 suit against state court dismissed (with some interesting dicta)
By S. COTUS
Miles v. Funk, No. 07-1057 (unpublished) affirms summary judgment in a pro se 1983 case brought against a state court because ?Appellants claim that their deprivation was caused by the appellees' use of state court to enforce an allegedly unconstitutional settlement agreement.? The First makes it clear, however, that it isn?t addressing whether ?enforcement of settlement agreements under New Hampshire state law is unconstitutional.? State law claims, not satisfying the amount in controversy requirement are dismissed, despite the plaintiffs claimed that in this non-class action lots more people would be impacted.
