Michael Green v. Hathaway
Opinion
NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS APR 25 2019 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
MICHAEL GREEN, AKA Kevin Dean No. 18-16973 Brewer, D.C. No. 2:17-cv-01598-MCE- Plaintiff-Appellant, CKD
v. MEMORANDUM* HATHAWAY; et al.,
Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Morrison C. England, Jr., District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 17, 2019**
Before: McKEOWN, BYBEE, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.
California prisoner Michael Green, AKA Kevin Dean Brewer, appeals pro
se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action
alleging deliberate indifference to his health and safety. We have jurisdiction
under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A.
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Green’s action because Green failed to
allege facts sufficient to link defendants to any constitutional violation. See
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (a plaintiff must allege facts that
“allow[] the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for
the misconduct alleged”).
AFFIRMED.
