Text: 23 We find that this case is entirely controlled by Caine v. Hardy and its narrow reading of Zinermon. If there were no postdeprivation procedure available to Dr. Charbonnet under state law, or if any of the three conditions that Zinermon and Caine read into the Parratt/ Hudson doctrine were not present, then the suit against McClendon, based on the evidence Dr. Charbonnet presented at trial, could stand. But there is such postdeprivation relief, and (applying Caine 's interpretation of these words) McClendon's actions were both unauthorized and unforeseeable, and better predeprivation safeguards were impossible. The district court properly decided that it was not the proper forum, and § 1983 was not the proper source of liability, for Dr. Charbonnet's case against McClendon. We AFFIRM the JNOV. 24 As for the district court's order granting CNA's motion for summary judgment because all of the alleged actions of the partners would have been excluded from the coverage of their insurance policy with CNA, we AFFIRM for the reasons carefully set forth in the order.
