Grace ALBANESE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendant-Appellee.
MEMORANDUM **
Grace Albanese appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a 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 Albanese’s action because Albanese failed to allege facts sufficient to show that a constitutional deprivation resulted from an official policy, practice, or custom. See Cameron v. Craig, 713 F.3d 1012, 1023 (9th Cir. 2013) (setting forth elements of a claim under Monell v. Department of Social Services of City of New York, 436 U.S. 658, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978) ).
AFFIRMED.
