Omar Chavez v. County of Sonoma

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Omar Chavez v. County of Sonoma, 690 F. App'x 481 (9th Cir. 2017)

Omar Chavez v. County of Sonoma

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Omar Chavez was detained in the Sono-ma County Jail for more than 60 days on a parole hold when, in fact, he was not on parole. He appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seeking relief against the County of Sonoma and Sheriff Steve Freitas for violating his rights under the Due Process Clause.

The district court dismissed Chavez’s First Amended Complaint, among other reasons, because the complaint did not plausibly allege facts to support liability for the County under Monell v. Department of Social Serv., 436 U.S. 658, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978), and because Sheriff Freitas was immune from suit in his personal capacity. In his briefs on appeal, Chavez did not contest either the Monell ruling or the immunity ruling. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
