''Terry v. Adams: A private political party that controls the outcome of elections is engaging in state action, thereby making it subject to the 15th Amendment of the Constitution (must allow citizens of all races to vote).
''Evans v. Newton'': Operating a park is a public function and therefore, the owner is subject to the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.
''Hudgens v. National Labor Relations Board'': A private shopping mall is not the functional equivalent of a town and, therefore, not a state actor subject to the requirements of the First Amendment of the Constitution.
''Manhattan Community Access Corporation v. Halleck'': The Court ruled that under the state-action doctrine, the operation of public access television channels on a cable system was not a traditional, exclusive public function, and a private entity that opened its property for speech by others was not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor.
