FED. R. CIV. P. 12(b)(6). As alleged in his complaint: Cornish was employed as a correctional officer by Correctional Services Corp. (CSC), a Dallas County, Texas, private corporation which operated a juvenile correctional facility; he reported to CSCs management and state and local authorities CSCs numerous violations in operating the facility; and his employment was terminated for making these reports. For the termination, however, CSC was not acting under the requisite color of state law. AFFIRMED .
