ANDRE ANDREWS v. OSCAR DOMINGUEZ (2016)

MEMORANDUM*

Andre Andrews appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging an unlawful seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Gallegos v. City of Los Angeles, 308 F.3d 987, 990 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Andrews failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether his encounter with defendant Dominguez rose to the level of a seizure for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. See United States v. Washington, 490 F.3d 765, 770 (9th Cir. 2007) (concluding that no seizure occurred when officer parked behind an individual in a parked car without lights or sirens; approached the car on foot; did not draw or touch a weapon; and engaged in brief, cordial, and courteous questioning); see also Florida v. Bostick, 501 U.S. 429, 434-35 (1991) (officers can question individuals, ask for identification, and request consent to search luggage even without basis for suspecting a particular individual).

Andrews' argument that the district court did not view the evidence in the light most favorable to him is unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
