No. 85-1015.

790 F.2d 500 (1986)

SOUTH MACOMB DISPOSAL AUTHORITY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Decided May 13, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roy W. Rogensues, Fraser, Mich., for plaintiff-appellant.

Joseph Crystal, Southfield, Mich., for defendants-appellees.

Before ENGEL, CONTIE and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.

CONTIE, Circuit Judge.

South Macomb Disposal Authority (SMDA) appeals from the district court's dismissal of its complaint. The district court held that SMDA, a municipal corporation, was not a "person" under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for the purposes of instituting an action. We affirm the district court's dismissal of the appellant's complaint on the ground that SMDA had failed to state a cause of action under section 1983.
