Sy Castle v. M. Knowles
Sy Castle v. M. Knowles
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
California state prisoner Sy Lee Castle appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging a violation of his rights under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. *264 § 1291. We review de novo. Edwards v. Marin Park, Inc., 356 F.3d 1058, 1061 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Castle’s action for monetary damages because Castle failed to allege facts demonstrating that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his disability. See Duvall v. Cnty. of Kitsap, 260 F.3d 1124, 1138-39 (9th Cir. 2001) (claims for monetary relief under Title II of the ADA require the plaintiff to establish intentional discrimination based on deliberate indifference, namely, “both knowledge that a harm to a federally protected right is substantially likely, and a failure to act upon that ... likelihood”).
Castle’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
