## Opinion text

KERNER, Circuit' Judge
(concurring).
I concur. I simply wish to make clear that we do not pass on the question of whether 42 U.S.C. § 1983 provides a federal cause of action against any state court plaintiffs who intentionally and maliciously use a knowing and willing state forum to deprive persons of constitutionally protected rights.
