DAVISCOURT v. CLAYBROOK IRS (2020)

MEMORANDUM **

Mark Daviscourt appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3) action stemming from the government's efforts to collect on Daviscourt's federal tax liability. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's dismissal for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Daviscourt's action because Daviscourt failed to allege facts sufficient to show that defendants conspired to violate his civil rights due to his mental illness. See Karim-Panahi v. L.A. Police Dep't, 839 F.2d 621, 626 (9th Cir. 1988) (elements of a claim under § 1985(3)); id. at 626 (explaining that “[a] mere allegation of conspiracy without factual specificity is insufficient” to state a § 1985(3) conspiracy claim).

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
