Flavio RODRIGUEZ, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; et al., Defendants-Appellees, 686 F. App'x 500

MEMORANDUM Flavio Rodriguez appeals from the district court’s grant of

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (“LASD”) and several individuals. As the parties are familiar with the facts, we do not recount them here. We affirm. 1. The district court properly granted

summary judgment to the LASD because Rodriguez failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether any “Friends of the Sheriff’ program was the “moving force” behind the alleged violation of his due process rights. Dougherty v. City of Covina, 654 F.3d 892, 900 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting forth requirements for a § 1983 action against a local government entity under Monell v. Dep’t of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 694, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978)), 2. The district court also properly granted

summary judgment to defendant Sheriff Leroy D. Baca because Rodriguez failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Baca was either personally involved in or sufficiently causally connected to the alleged due process violation. See Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1207 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting forth requirements for supervisor liability). 3. In addition, the district court properly granted

summary judgment to defendants Larry Waldie and James Corbin based on qualified immunity because Rodriguez failed to show that it was “clearly established” that the circumstances here violated his due process rights. See White v. Pauly, — U.S. -, 137 S.Ct. 548, 552, 196 L.Ed.2d 463 (2017) (per curiam) (reiterating that for qualified immunity the “clearly established law must be ‘particularized’ to the facts of the case” (citation omitted)); Clairmont v. Sound Mental Health, 632 F.3d 1091, 1109 (9th Cir. 2011) (“The plaintiff bears the burden to show that the contours of the right were clearly established.”). 4. Finally, the district court properly granted

summary judgment to defendant Stanley Toy because Rodriguez failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Toy’s disposition of the disbursed funds was inconsistent with Rodriguez’s property rights. See Fremont Indem. Co. v. Fremont Gen. Corp., 148 Cal. App.4th 97, 55 Cal.Rptr.3d 621, 638 (2007) (setting forth elements of conversion claim). 5. We need not decide whether the district court abused its discretion by deeming Rodriguez’s late opposition as consent to granting

summary judgment, or by relying on Rodriguez’s admissions due to his failure to timely respond to requests for admission, AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
