ENGEL, Circuit Judge.
The sole issue in this appeal is whether plaintiffs must plead a conspiracy between private and state actors to state a cause of action for malicious prosecution against private parties under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This Circuit has in the past uniformly required such a pleading, and because we find this requirement supported by reason as well as precedent, we affirm the dismissal of plaintiff's case for failure to plead a conspiracy.
