California state prisoner David E. Edwards appeals pro se from the district

Co., 546 F.3d 1142, 1145 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Edwards
failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the visual, partially
clothed search was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment. See Byrd v.
Maricopa Cnty. Sheriff’s Dep’t, 629 F.3d 1135, 1141 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc)
(explaining that “[w]hether a search is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment
requires a case-by-case balancing of the need for the particular search against the
invasion of personal rights that the search entails,” and setting forth factors for the
court to consider (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Edwards’s motion
to strike a document because the document fell within the public records exception
to the hearsay rule. See Fed. R. Evid. 803(8)(A)(i); Hambleton Bros. Lumber Co.
v. Balkin Enters., Inc., 397 F.3d 1217, 1224 n.4 (9th Cir. 2005) (standard of
review).
AFFIRMED.
