Anthony Eugene LEWIS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. KING COUNTY; et al., Defendants-Appellees, 708 F. App'x 432

MEMORANDUM Anthony Eugene Lewis appeals pro se from the district court’s

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims related to Washington’s sex offender registration requirements. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Szajer v. City of Los Angeles, 632 F.3d 607, 610 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm. The district court properly granted

summary judgment on Lewis’s Eighth Amendment claim because Washington’s sex offender registration statute does not impose criminal punishment. See State v. Ward, 123 Wash.2d 488, 869 P.2d 1062, 1068-69 (1994) (Washington’s sex offender registry serves a regulatory, rather than punitive, purpose). The district court properly granted

summary judgment on Lewis’s Fourteenth Amendment equal protection and substantive due process claims because Lewis failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the sex offender registration statute is not rationally related to a legitimate state interest. See United States v. Juvenile Male, 670 F.3d 999, 1009, 1012 (9th Cir. 2012) (statute that does not burden a protected class or a fundamental right will be upheld if it is rationally related to a legitimate state interest); Ward, 869 P.2d at 1077 (sex offender registration statute advances the valid state interest of assisting law enforcement). The district court properly granted

summary judgment on Lewis’s Fourteenth Amendment procedural due process claim because Lewis failed to' raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the registration requirement was not based on his prior criminal conviction. See Juvenile Male, 670 F.3d at 1014 (no additional due process required where the requirement to register is based solely on prior conviction). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
