The court discusses the plaintiff's failure to state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3) due to lack of allegations showing private deprivation of laws and class-based discriminatory motivation. The court references several cases to illustrate the scope of § 1985(3) and concludes that the plaintiff's claim of discrimination as a podiatrist is not actionable under current interpretations of the statute.
