Description
Opinion OF THE COURT This is a suit for damages under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, brought by a certificated taxicab company and its sole stockholders against the Chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission. After the plaintiffs had amended their original complaint, the district court, 330 F. Supp. 1235, granted a motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs have appealed. We agree with the district court that so much of the complaint as alleges in substance that the defendant has slandered the plaintiffs and their business does not assert the violation of any right protected by the Civil Rights Act. The district court also ruled that the other allegations of the complaint lacked ""the factual specificity required to support a cause of action under the Civil Rights Act."" That ruling was correct.
