novo the district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Resnick v. Hayes,
213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Stewart’s action because Stewart failed
to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See Gordon v. County of
Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1122, 1125 (9th Cir. 2018) (setting forth objective
deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical
care and conditions-of-confinement claims brought by pretrial detainees); Castro v.
County of Los Angeles, 833 F.3d 1060, 1073-76 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc)
(discussing requirements to establish municipal liability under Monell v.
Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978)); Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d
338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are liberally construed, a
plaintiff must allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim).
Stewart’s motion for a response from the court (Docket Entry No. 11) is
denied.
AFFIRMED.
