Dear Mr. Freedman:

This is in regard to your letter of May 17, 1994, acknowledging receipt of our letters on April 28, 1994 and May 13, 1994.

The Department of Justice has not been given authority to pursue an alleged civil rights violation of the kind described under 42 U.S.C. 1983.  If you wish to pursue this matter under 42 U.S.C. 1983, we can only suggest that you may want to consult with private counsel of your choosing to determine what remedies, if any, may be available to you.

Sincerely,

Deval L. Patrick
Assistant Attorney General
Civil Rights Division
