Corcoran

*523 MEMORANDUM **

This case arises out of the suspension of Philip E. Corcoran’s registered nurse license and nurse practitioner certificate by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (“the Board”). Corcoran filed suit against the members of the Board, asserting a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for violation of his procedural due process rights. The district court dismissed Corcoran’s complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and denied leave to amend. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 .
