Moose Lodge No. 107 v. Irvis

In Moose Lodge No. 107 v. Irvis, 407 U.S. 163, 92 S.Ct. 1965, 32 L.Ed.2d 627 (1972), the Court found no state action in the discriminatory service policy of a private club which held a state liquor license, despite the state regulation that went with the grant of a liquor license. The Court expressed no disapproval of Burton, but rather distinguished that case on the ground that the Moose Lodge was not located on public property and did not have the sort of "symbiotic relationship" with the state that the Eagle Coffee Shop had had. Id., at 175, 92 S.Ct. at 1972. Finding no close overall relationship, the Court considered whether the regulations of the State Liquor Control Board in any way encouraged racial discrimination, and found that they did not.
