"[A] reversal on appeal `would destroy the diversity of the parties, make any action of the federal court a nullity, and offend, thereby, traditional notions of judicial economy.'" Id. (citing Arthur 598 F.Supp. 368-69). This court agrees that the Insigna approach would undercut the purpose of the voluntary/involuntary rule.
Similarly, DiFonzo, who was appointed by the District of Columbia and also compensated by it, does not by virtue of that appointment become a state actor. See, e.g., Holsey v. Chandler, 598 F. Supp. 368, 369-70 (D.D.C. 1984). It is nonetheless possible that, if Buchanan and DiFonzo had, as Anderson alleges, conspired with the U.S. Attorney, they could have acted under color of state law.
