2 17-17390
F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Albanese’s action because Albanese
failed to allege facts sufficient to show that a constitutional deprivation resulted
from an official policy, practice, or custom. See Cameron v. Craig, 713 F.3d 1012,
1023 (9th Cir. 2013) (setting forth elements of a claim under Monell v. Department
of Social Services of City of New York, 436 U.S. 658 (1978)).
AFFIRMED.
