THAPAR, Circuit Judge. This is Dimitar Petlechkov’s third time before us. He now challenges the final forfeiture order entered in his criminal case and the denial of five other motions. We affirm in part, reverse in part, vacate in part, and remand for further proceedings.

Regina Bryant, a pro se Ohio plaintiff, appeals the district court’s judgment in favor of the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on her federal employment-discrimination and retaliation complaint. Bryant moves the court for appointment of counsel on appeal. This case has been referred to a panel of the court that, upon examination, unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). For the reasons that follow, we deny Bryant’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm the district court’s judgment.

JOHN K. BUSH, Circuit Judge. This case arises from the suicide of Juan Quintana, II, a fifteen-year-old, at a facility operated by defendants Spectrum Juvenile Justice Services and Spectrum Human Services, Inc. (collectively, Spectrum) in Highland Park, Michigan. Representatives of Quintana’s estate sued Spectrum based on Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978). The complaint alleges that Spectrum functioned as a state actor and violated Quintana’s Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights when its personnel failed to visually check on him as required by state contract. The district court dismissed plaintiffs’ suit on the ground that the complaint did not plausibly allege state action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We respectfully disagree, as explained below. We therefore REVERSE and REMAND for further proceedings.
