Agner v. City of Hermosa Beach
Agner v. City of Hermosa Beach
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Kenneth Agner appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Hermosa Beach and its police officers on his claims for false arrest. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and affirm.
Agner’s federal claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is Heck-barred because on the facts in this case, pursuing a claim for false arrest would necessarily impugn the unfavorable disposition of the prior criminal proceedings against him. Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487, 114 S.Ct. 2364,
California applies Heck principles to state law claims, Yount v. City of Sacramento, 43 Cal.4th 885, 76 Cal.Rptr.3d 787, 183 P.3d 471, 484 (2008), and we think the California Supreme Court would do so here.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
