Dunne v. Police Department

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Michael J. Dunne appeals pro se the district court’s order denying his request for the assistance of the Federal Inter-agency Slave Trafficking Task Force and dismissing, or granting summary judgment on, his claims against the Honolulu *674Police Department (“HPD”) and Pat and Orelana Wong. We review a grant of summary judgment de novo, see Buono v. Norton, 371 F.3d 543, 545 (9th Cir. 2004), and we review a dismissal for failure to state a claim de novo as well, see Roe v. City of San Diego, 356 F.3d 1108, 1111-12 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

Dunne contends that the HPD and the Wongs violated his civil and constitutional rights and are liable to him for damages under various federal and Hawaii state laws because they use a global positioning system device (GPS), which was forcibly implanted in his left eye socket, to control, monitor, and use him as a sex slave in an international sex-slavery ring. The district court carefully and thoroughly considered all his claims, and dismissed some because the statutes in question carry no private right of action or do not apply in his situation, and granted summary judgment against him on the remainder because he cannot prove the existence of a GPS implant in his head. Upon de novo review of the district court’s order, we find no error.

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
