OPINION McKEAGUE, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff Glenda Kolota brings this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 arising out of an assault and rape that she suffered while incarcerated in the Sevier County Detention Facility. Plaintiff brought suit against the perpetrators of her rape as well as Sevier County, Tennessee, claiming that the County had a custom of endemic overcrowding that resulted in her being housed alongside more violent offenders and, ultimately, contributed to her rape. On Sevier County’s motion, the district court granted
summary judgment and declined supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiffs state law claims. We agree with the reasoning of the district court, and affirm on those grounds. A separate opinion from this Court would do nothing to add to the sound reasoning of the district court’s opinion. Plaintiff has not met her burden on
summary judgment. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 249, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). To be sure, her experience was unimaginably traumatic, but she has not demonstrated that overcrowding and misclassification were a custom in the Sevier County Detention Facility or that the misclassification was the moving force that caused her rape, which was perpetrated by fellow inmates. See Monell v. Dept. of Soc. Servs. of N.Y., 436 U.S. 658, 690-92, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978); Miller v. Calhoun Cnty., 408 F.3d 808, 815 (6th Cir.2005).
Without such a showing, there can be no genuine dispute as to Sevier County’s liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. City of St. Louis v. Praprotnik, 485 U.S. 112, 123, 108 S.Ct. 915, 99 L.Ed.2d 107 (1988) (“Municipalities may be held liable under § 1983 only for acts for which the municipality itself is actually responsible, ‘that is, acts which the municipality has officially sanctioned or ordered.’”) (quoting Pembaur v. City of Cincinnati, 475 U.S. 469, 480, 106 S.Ct. 1292, 89 L.Ed.2d 452 (1986)).
It bears adding that Plaintiffs contention that the district court should have considered reports, which she claims come from the Tennessee Corrections Institute, in making its
summary judgment decision does not change matters. Even if we account for the contents of the reports, they fail to establish a material dispute of fact about any improper custom or causation. After carefully reviewing the district court’s opinion, the record, and the applicable law, we are satisfied that the issues were thoroughly and correctly resolved by the district court and that
summary judgment in favor of Sevier County was proper. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court on the grounds stated in its well-reasoned opinion filed on March 28, 2011.
