instruction:
In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

because it was made by physicians and nursing home administrators who are private parties. The Supreme Court explained its rationale: "Those decisions ultimately turn on medical judgments made by private parties according to professional standards that are not established by the State." Id. at 1008, 102 S.Ct. 2777. The Court distinguished situations where the state "affirmatively command[ed]" the discharge or transfer of Medicaid patients, id. at 1005, 102 S.Ct. 2777, or where medical judgments were made by utilization review committees mandated by federal regulation. See id. at 1008, 102 S.Ct. 2777. A key inquiry under Blum and its progeny is which entity made the decision being challenged. See id. at 1005, 102 S.Ct. 2777; see also Kraemer v. Heckler, 737 F.2d 214, 220 (2d Cir.1984) (<HOLDING>); Catanzano v. Dowling, 60 F.3d 113, 117 (2d
Holding statements: (A) holding that evidence contrary to an administrators decision does not make the decision arbitrary and capricious so long as a reasonable basis appears for the decision (B) holding 2254d authorizes federal court to review state courts decision only and not explanation of decision (C) holding that state courts failure to discuss or even to be aware of federal precedent does not in itself render the decision contrary to federal law (D) holding that a party losing in state court may not seek what would amount to appellate review of that decision in federal court based on the claim that the decision violates the losers federal rights (E) holding that the decision of a utilization review committee may well constitute state action where the decisionmaking process itself appears to be governed largely by federal guidelines

question:
of the documents. In his report, Gage stated only that the witnesses could not recall whether or not Peng raised his fist, but that they saw Peng grab the documents from Mei Hu. Peng has submitted a declaration by C. Peng that neither he nor Mr. Chi ever told anyone anything about what happened. As the district court noted, Peng has not cast doubt on the fact that, prior to Peng's arrest, Jonathan Hu, acting as interpreter, told Gage that the two witnesses saw Peng grab the documents from Mei Hu. Peng has cast doubt on the identity of the witnesses and the veracity of Jonathan Hu, but Gage could not have known this at the time of the arrest. We are satisfied that Gage made a reasonable investigation under the circumstances before he arrested Peng. See Fuller, 950 F.2d at 1442-44 (<HOLDING>). We conclude that the presence of a factual
Holding statements: (A) holding that police officers have a duty to conduct an investigation into the basis of the witness report (B) holding that because the court could not consider police reports it could not rely on an attorneys argument based on the police report as the basis for determining the statutory basis for a conviction (C) holding that error in excluding a police officers report was harmless where the same evidence was presented by another witness (D) holding that an insurer has a duty to conduct an investigation reasonably appropriate under the circumstances (E) holding that witness statements in police report inadmissible

for constitutional tort claims." Mem. Supp. Defs.' Mot. Dismiss 8 (quoting Harris v. Holder, 885 F.Supp.2d 390, 397 (D.D.C.2012)). Defendants are also right in noting that although Plaintiffs reference 22 U.S.C. 1623 and 42 U.S.C. 1983 throughout their complaint, see Compl. 5-9, neither statutory provision contains a waiver of sovereign immunity. Mem. Supp. Defs.' Mot. Dismiss 8. For their part, Plaintiffs point out only that their complaint does not contain the word "damages." Mem. Supp. Pis.' Resp. Defs.' Mot. Dismiss 9, ECF No. 12. But Plaintiffs cite no authority for the proposition that a complaint's literal avoidance of the term "damages" compels a finding that the claim "seek[s] relief other than money damages." 5 U.S.C. 702; cf. Blue Fox, 525 U.S. at 263, 119 S.Ct. 687 (<HOLDING>). Both parties, however, overlook the fact that
Holding statements: (A) holding also that the money in the hands of the sheriff for distributions was created or at least made available by the efforts of counsel (B) holding that action for lien seeks money damages because its goal is to seize or attach money in the hands of the government as compensation (C) holding that exhaustion is required under the plra even if the plaintiff seeks only money damages and money damages are not available as relief (D) recognizing that an action will lie for conversion of money when its identification is possible and there is an obligation to deliver the specific money in question or otherwise particularly treat the specific money (E) holding that the due process clause does not obligate the government to pay money damages
answer:
(B)
