-- 1 of 2 --

No. 05–1107 2
The final paragraph of the opinion shall be replaced with the following:
For the reasons asserted above, we affirm the district court’s grant of
summary judgment for the Flying J, Steve Lindgren, and Nakon Security on the §
1981 claims, reverse the grant of summary judgment for the Flying J, Steve
Lindgren, and Nakon Security on the relevant state law claims, and reverse the
grant of summary judgment for Officer Williams and the City of Gary, Indiana, on
the claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and the relevant state law claims. We
remand for further proceedings consistent with this decision. All parties to bear
their own costs.
Footnote 3 on page 15 will be amended to state,
“. . .Furthermore, even if they were, Pourghoraishi has failed the second and third
prongs of the Morris test, so it cannot be determined that Pourghoraishi was denied
the opportunity to contract on the basis of his race as opposed to some other
ground.”
