Also, a close symbiosis was noted between retail businesses having nearby parking and a garage being close to shopping opportunities to the point that they were a "joint participant." If my brother is correct in so reading the decision of the Delaware Supreme Court, his conclusion inevitably follows. 49; Tate v.

As an entity, the building was dedicated to 'public uses' in performance of the Authority's 'essential governmental functions.' ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT [March -, 1986] JUSTICE STEVENS, dissenting. That dichotomy has been subsequently reaffirmed in Shelley v. Kraemer and in Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority (1961). It is clear, as it always has been since the Civil Rights Cases, supra, that "Individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject matter of the amendment," 109 U.S. at 109 U. S. 11, and that private conduct abridging individual rights does no violence to the Equal Protection Clause unless, to some significant extent, the State, in any of its manifestations, has been found to have become involved in it. Claiming that refusal to serve him abridged his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, appellant sued in a state court for declaratory and injunctive relief against the restaurant and the state agency. The Authority was created by the City of Wilmington pursuant to 22 Del.Code, §§ 501—515. In upholding Eagle's right to deny service to the appellant solely because of his race, the Supreme Court of Delaware relied upon a statute of that State which permits the proprietor of a restaurant to refuse to serve "persons whose reception or entertainment by him would be offensive to the major part of his customers. Pp. I certainly do not find the clarity that my brother STEWART finds in the views expressed by the Supreme Court of Delaware regarding 24 Del.Code, § 1501. . It seems to me both unnecessary and unwise to reach issues of such broad constitutional significance as those now decided by the Court, before the necessity for deciding them has become apparent. "No keeper of an inn, tavern, hotel, or restaurant, or other place of public entertainment or refreshment of travelers, guests, or customers shall be obliged, by law, to furnish entertainment or refreshment to persons whose reception or entertainment by him would be offensive to the major part of his customers, and would injure his business. In deciding this case, the Delaware Supreme Court, among other things, said: "It [Eagle] acts as a restaurant keeper and, as such, is not required to serve any and all persons entering its place of business, any more than the operator of a bookstore, barber shop, or other retail business is required to sell its product to every one. Owing to the very "largeness". The parking building is owned and operated by the Wilmington Parking Authority, an agency of the State of Delaware, and the restaurant is the Authority's lessee. Moreover, the bonds were not expected to be marketable if payable solely out of parking revenues. On appeal here from the judgment as having been based upon a statute construed unconstitutionally, we postponed consideration of the question of jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 2d 45,1961 U.S. Brief Fact Summary. Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority. It is of no consolation to an individual denied the equal protection of the laws that it was done in good faith. Gen. Archibald Cox, Washington, D.C., for the United States, as amicus curiae. It was language in the opinion in the Civil Rights Cases, supra, that phrased the broad test of state responsibility under the Fourteenth Amendment, predicting its consequence upon 'State action of every kind * * * which denies * * * the equal protection of the laws.' In this action for declaratory and injunctive relief, it is admitted that the Eagle Coffee Shoppe, Inc., a restaurant located within an off-street automobile parking building in Wilmington, Delaware, has refused to serve appellant food or drink solely because he is a Negro. PEEK, J. The land and building were publicly owned. [Footnote 2] By its inaction, the Authority, and through it the State, has not only made itself a party to the refusal of service, but has elected to place its power, property and prestige behind the admitted discrimination. The building had been built with public funds for public purposes, and it was owned and operated by an agency of the State of Delaware, from which the private operator of the restaurant leased its premises. 545; Lawrence v. Hancock, 76 F. Supp. If it did, it would undoubtedly take his easy route to decision and not reach the same result by its much more circuitous route. Delaware's highest court has thus denied the equal protection claim of the appellant as well as his state-law contention concerning the applicability of § 1501. The Court's opinion, by a process of first undiscriminatingly throwing together various factual bits and pieces and then undermining the resulting structure by an equally vague disclaimer, seems to me to leave completely at sea just what it is in this record that satisfies the requirement of "state action.".

Wilmington Parking Authority (1961), which involved a private restaurant that leased space in a publicly owned parking facility. He found it not necessary, therefore, to pass upon. If in the context of this record this means, as my Brother STEWART suggests, that the Delaware court construed this state statute 'as authorizing discriminatory classification based exclusively on color,' I would certainly agree, without more, that the enactment is offensive to the Fourteenth Amendment. But for him the state court's view of its statute is so ambiguous that he deems it necessary to secure a clarification from the state court of how in fact it did construe the statute. 856, 859-860, 6 L.Ed.2d 45 (1961), a case involving racial discrimination by a privately owned restaurant operating on government property: Go to; Contrast the case at hand with Eaton v. Board of Managers of James Walker Mem. In upholding Eagle's right to deny service to the appellant solely because of his race, the Supreme Court of Delaware relied upon a statute of that State which permits the proprietor of a restaurant to refuse to serve 'persons whose reception or entertainment by him would be offensive to the major part of his customers * * *. William H. BURTON, Appellant, v. WILMINGTON PARKING AUTHORITY, et al. In Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U.S. 715 (1961), we said: "Only by sifting facts and weighing circumstances can the nonobvious involvement of the [419 U.S. 345, 360] State in private conduct be attributed its true significance." Id., at 722. Having entered and sought service, he was refused it. Although the Authority did not include anti-discrimination provisions in the lease, its failure to do so constitutes a type of inaction that may be categorized as state action because it makes the government a party to the refusal of service. Upkeep and maintenance of the building, including necessary repairs, were responsibilities of the Authority, and were payable out of public funds. In Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U.S. 715, 81 S.Ct. Assuming that the distinction would be significant, cf. In this connection the Delaware Supreme Court seems to have placed controlling emphasis on its conclusion, as to the accuracy of which there is doubt, that only some 15% of the total cost of the facility was 'advanced' from public funds; that the cost of the entire facility was allocated three-fifths to the space for commercial leasing and two-fifths to parking space; that anticipated revenue from parking was only some 30.5% of the total income, the balance of which was expected to be earned by the leasing; that the Authority had no original intent to place a restaurant in the building, it being only a happenstance resulting from the bidding; that Eagle expended considerable moneys on furnishings; that the restaurant's main and marked public entrance is on Ninth Street without any public entrance direct from the parking area; and that 'the only connection Eagle has with the public facility * * * is the furnishing of the sum of $28,700 annually in the form of rent which is used by the Authority to defray a portion of the operating expense of an otherwise unprofitable enterprise.' It is of no consolation to an individual denied the equal protection of the laws that it was done in good faith. To secure additional financing, the Authority arranged long-term leases with tenants for the commercial use of some of the space in the parking facility. Its lease, however, contains no requirement that its restaurant services be made available to the general public on a nondiscriminatory basis, in spite of the fact that the Authority has power to adopt rules and regulations respecting the use of its facilities except any as would impair the security of its bondholders. Similarly, its convenience for diners may well provide additional demand for the Authority's parking facilities. The Civil Rights Cases, 1883, 109 U.S. 3, 3 S.Ct. significance." Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U. S. 715, 722 ( 1961); sec Moose Lodge No. On the jurisdictional question, we agree that the judgment of Delaware's court does not depend for its ultimate support upon a determination of the constitutional validity of a state statute, but rather upon the holding that, on the facts, Eagle's racially discriminatory action was exercised in "a purely private capacity," and that it was, therefore, beyond the prohibitive scope of the Fourteenth Amendment. [12], The case broadened the reach of the Equal Protection Clause to include not only direct government action but also actions by private companies acting in close relationship to a government agency. Since the pronouncement of the Supreme Court of Delaware thus lends itself to three views, none of which is patently irrational, why is not my brother HARLAN's suggestion for solving this conflict the most appropriate solution? In August 1958 appellant parked his car in the building and walked around to enter the restaurant by its front door on Ninth Street.

The land and building were publicly owned. The trial court's disposal of the issues on summary judgment has resulted in a rather incomplete record, but the opinion of the Supreme Court, as well as that of the Chancellor, presents the facts in sufficient detail for us to determine the degree of state participation in Eagle's refusal to serve petitioner.

If I were forced to construe that court's construction, I should find the balance of considerations leading to the opposite conclusion from his, namely, that it was merely declaratory of the common law and did not give state sanction to refusing service to a person merely because he is colored. The Authority refrained from using its power to require that the restaurant services be made available to the general public, and Eagle Coffee Shoppe was not required under Delaware law to serve all persons entering the shop because it was a restaurant rather than an inn. In its lease the Authority covenanted to complete construction expeditiously, including completion of 'the decorative finishing of the leased premises and utilities therefor, without cost to Lessee,' including necessary utility connections, toilets, hung acoustical tile and plaster ceilings; vinyl asbestos, ceramic tile and concrete floors; connecting stairs and wrought iron railings; and wood-floored show windows.

I find it unnecessary, however, to inquire into the matter at this stage, for it seems to me apparent that, before passing on the far-reaching constitutional questions that may or may not be lurking in this judgment, the case should first be sent back to the state court for clarification as to the precise basis of its decision.

And only two Terms ago, some 75 years later, the same concept of state responsibility was interpreted as necessarily following upon "state participation through any arrangement, management, funds or property."

Only by sifting facts and weighing circumstances can the nonobvious involvement of the State in private conduct be attributed its true significance.
