MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cal. Ass'n of Rural Health Clinics v. Douglas, 738 F.3d 1007 (9th Cir. 2013):
Section 1983 safeguards certain rights conferred by federal statutes, but a 1983 plaintiff must assert the violation of a federal right, not merely a violation of federal law. Blessing v. Freestone, 520 U.S. 329, 340, 117 S.Ct. 1353, 137 L.Ed.2d 569 (1997). Three factors help determine whether a particular statutory provision gives rise to a federal right.
