JIM MAHAR, individually and in his official capacity, Defendant - Appellee. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF WYOMING (D.C. No. 04-CV-03-B) Submitted on the briefs: Rudy Stanko, Gordon, Nebraska, Plaintiff-Appellant, Pro se. Patrick J. Crank, Attorney General, John W. Renneisen, Deputy Attorney General, Misha Westby, Senior Assistant Attorney General, David L. Delicath, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, Cheyenne, Wyoming for Defendant-Appellee. Before LUCERO, McKAY, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. McKAY, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff Rudy Stanko, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district court's order granting summary judgment to defendant Jim Maher(1) on Mr. Stanko's complaint alleging violations of his constitutional rights.(2) We affirm the entry of summary judgment in favor of Mr. Maher.(3) FACTS Mr. Stanko is a resident of Gordon, Nebraska who operates as a stock owner and drover in Fremont, Natrona, and Teton Counties, Wyoming. Mr. Maher is a brand inspector employed by the State of Wyoming Livestock Board (Board). (1) The case caption spells Mr. Maher's name "Mahar" but it appears that the correct spelling is "Maher." (2) Mr. Stanko's complaint recites that it is brought pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Bivens creates a remedy for violations of constitutional rights committed by federal officials acting in their individual capacities. Mr. Maher is a state brand inspector. Therefore, this action arises, if at all, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 rather than Bivens. (3) After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimous...

Before: Ginsburg, Chief Judge, and Edwards and Garland, Circuit Judges. Opinion for the Court filed by Chief Judge Ginsburg. Ginsburg, Chief Judge: The Farm Credit Administration promulgated a rule eliminating geographical restrictions upon certain activities of lenders within the Farm Credit System, and thereby put them into competition with each other. The plaintiffs-appellants - lenders within the System - challenged the rule in district court, claiming it conflicted with the Farm Credit Act and with a 1992 Amendment thereto, and that the FCA promulgated the rule in violation of the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.
