Opinion
NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED FEB 22 2021 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ANTQUAN DURPREE CLAY, No. 19-56490 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 5:15-cv-02395-AG-DFM v. MEMORANDUM* SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Andrew J. Guilford, District Judge, Presiding Submitted February 17, 2021** Before: FERNANDEZ, BYBEE, and BADE, Circuit Judges.
Antquan Durpree Clay appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims arising from a strip search while he was a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction under 42
* 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).
U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Clay’s excessive force claim against defendant Harris because Clay failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the force used to compel the search was objectively unreasonable. See Kingsley v. Hendrickson, 576 U.S. 389, 396-97 (2015) (setting forth standard for an excessive force claim under the Fourteenth Amendment).
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Clay’s unreasonable search claim against defendant Harris because Clay failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the search was unreasonable. See Bull v. City & County of San Francisco, 595 F.3d 964, 971-74 (9th Cir. 2010) (en banc) (setting forth factors relevant to reasonableness of pretrial detention search, including whether a search is reasonably related to a legitimate government objective).
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
