not this Court. Federal Claims To state a claim that is cognizable in federal court as one brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971), as the plaintiff claims, he must plead two essential elements. He must show, first, that he has been deprived of rights secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States and, second, that the defendants allegedly depriving him of those rights acted under color of federal law. Bivens, 403 U.S. at 397, 91 S.Ct. 1999. The plaintiff in the case sub judice cannot meet the second of these two requirements. An ex-wife, even when an ex-wife acts with her divorce attorney(s), is not a state actor. See Greenlee v. Greenlee, 2005 WL 1030334 (E.D.Mich.2005) (<HOLDING>); see also Patel v. Heidelberger, 6 Fed.Appx.
