In Carver v. City of N.Y., No. 09-2053, an action by a recipient of public assistance against New York City for constitutional violations and violations of the minimum wage laws based on the city’s interception of a lottery award to plaintiff, the court affirmed the dismissal of the action in part where, in asserting his takings and substantive due process claims, plaintiff alleges that he was injured by the taking of his lottery prize; and in asserting his equal protection claims, he alleged that he was injured by the discriminatory taking of his lottery prize on the basis of his status as a public-assistance recipient, but these injuries were caused solely by the state and not the city.
