Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 3:21-cv-08118-DLR v.

MEMORANDUM* BULLHEAD CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT; et al.,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the District of Arizona

Douglas L. Rayes, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted September 17, 2024** Before: WARDLAW, BADE, and H.A. THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

Daniel Rae Wilson appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging Fourth Amendment excessive force claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s summary judgment and qualified immunity determination. Furnace

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). v. Sullivan, 705 F.3d 1021, 1026 (9th Cir. 2013). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity because defendants’ conduct did not violate clearly established rights. See Plumhoff v. Rickard, 572 U.S. 765, 778-79 (2014) (defendants sued under § 1983 are entitled to qualified immunity unless they violated a right that was clearly established; “a defendant cannot be said to have violated a clearly established right unless the right’s contours were sufficiently definite that any reasonable official in the defendant’s shoes would have understood that he was violating it”).

AFFIRMED.
