The plaintiff appeals an order entering partial summary judgment for the defendants. We affirm. The plaintiff was employed as a dentist at South Florida State Hospital. The hospital is a mental institution which is owned, funded and regulated by the State of Florida. Pursuant to a contract with the state, Ameri-Manage, Inc., provides management services at the hospital. On February 13, 1981, the plaintiff was notified of his termination from employment at the hospital by a letter from Robert Burton, the chief executive officer of the hospital and an employee of Ameri-Manage. This letter indicated that the plaintiff was being discharged because of ""inadequate performance in carrying out your duties and responsibilities.""
