Neil Stafford v. Steven Powers

MEMORANDUM

Neil B. Stafford appeals pro se from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various constitutional claims concerning his designation as a predatory sex offender and conditions of parole. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of Med., 363 F.3d 916 , 922 (9th Cir.2004) (summary judgment); Brown v. Cal. Dep’t of Corr., 554 F.3d 747, 749 (9th Cir.2009) (absolute immunity). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Stafford’s claims regarding Defendants’ imposition of parole conditions. See Anderson v. Boyd, 714 F.2d 906, 909 (9th Cir.1983) (parole officers entitled to absolute immunity for imposition of parole conditions).

See Brown v. Cal. Dep’t of Corr., 554 F.3d 747, 751 (9th Cir.2009) (parole board officials entitled to absolute immunity for actions taken in processing parole applications); Swift v. Cal., 384 F.3d…
