Executive Summary
The Ninth Circuit affirmed dismissal of a pro se passenger's lawsuit against Alaska Airlines for enforcing federal/state COVID-19 mask mandates and banning the non-compliant passenger for one year. The court held the airline is not a state actor under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and denial of leave to amend was proper. This is a complete defense win — a trivial, non-material case with no financial exposure.
