A.C., et al., appeal from the district court’s order dismissing their complaint without leave to amend. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review findings of fact for clear error and legal conclusions de novo, except for the district court’s denial of leave to amend, which we review for abuse of discretion. Pannebecker v. Liberty Life Assurance Co. of Boston , 542 F.3d 1213, 1217 (9th Cir. 2008); Gompper v. VISX, Inc. , 298 F.3d 893, 898 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

Appellants contend that Gonzalez v. Spencer , 336 F.3d 832 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam), clearly established that a government attorney violates a minor’s constitutional right to privacy by accessing the minor’s juvenile case files without prior judicial authorization. The district court rejected this contention, holding that Gonzalez did not clearly establish this right and that qualified immunity applies.

Since the parties submitted their briefing, we decided exactly this issue in another case, Nunes v. Arata, Swingle, Van Egmond & Goodwin (PLC) , 983 F.3d 1108 (9th Cir. 2020) (per curiam). Nunes held that the “ opaque opinion ” in Gonzalez did not clearly establish a constitutional right to privacy in juvenile records. Id. at 1114. In fact, Nunes specifically approved of the district court’s decision in this case. See id. at 1113 – 14. Thus, Defendants are entitled to qualified immunity. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

AFFIRMED.
