SNEED, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and concurring in part in the result:
I concur in Part I of the majority opinion and that portion of Part II that deals with Taylor’s right to represent the Lifers Club. I concur in the result reached by the majority in the remainder of Part II, that portion devoted to the discussion of Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 101 S.Ct. 1908, 68 L.Ed.2d 420 (1981).
I have set forth the substance of my thinking regarding Parratt v. Taylor in my concurring in the result opinion in Mann v. City of Tucson, 782 F.2d 790, 794-800 (9th Cir.1986). The deprivation in this case was not the result of an “unconstitutional state law, policy, procedure, pattern, or practice.” Id. at 798. Therefore, the existence of post deprivation state remedies should satisfy the requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment.
