Docket

*2 Before: REINHARDT and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges, and MOLLOY, [**] District Judge.

Omar Chavez was detained in the Sonoma County Jail for more than 60 days on a parole hold when, in fact, he was not on parole. He appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 seeking relief against the County of Sonoma and Sheriff Steve Freitas for violating his rights under the Due Process Clause.

The district court dismissed Chavez’s First Amended Complaint, among other reasons, because the complaint did not plausibly allege facts to support liability for the County under Monell v. Department of Social Serv. , 436 U.S. 658 (1978), and because Sheriff Freitas was immune from suit in his personal capacity. In his briefs on appeal, Chavez did not contest either the Monell ruling or the immunity ruling. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED . * * The Honorable Donald W. Molloy, United States District Judge for the District of Montana, sitting by designation.
