RUDY LAVERNE JOHNSON, AKA Ammaroo, AKA Rudy Levelle Johnson, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; et al., Defendants-Appellees, and ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY, named as: Executive State Treasure; et al., Defendants.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Submitted October 12, 2022

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Susan R. Bolton, District Judge, Presiding D.C. No. 2:21-cv-00520-SRB-MTM

Before: SILVERMAN, GRABER, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM [*]

Rudy Laverne Johnson, who is confined in a Maricopa County jail, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Johnson's action because Johnson failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are construed liberally, a plaintiff must allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim).

Johnson's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Entry No. 5) is denied as unnecessary. All other pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.

[*] This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
