MEMORANDUM
Lameisha Beed and Deliah Reynolds brought this action raising claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law after they were arrested, detained, and strip searched by police officers employed by the City and County of Los Angeles. Beed and Reynolds appeal the district court’s grant of partial judgment on the pleadings to the County, grant of partial summary judgment in favor of the City, and denial of their motions for judgment as a matter of law under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b) after the jury’s verdict. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm.
The district court properly granted partial judgment as a matter of law to the County of Los Angeles and partial summary judgment to the City of Los Angeles on Beed’s state law claim of false imprisonment. Neither Beed’s allegations/proposed allegations, viewed as true, nor the evidence on summary judgment, viewed in the light most favorable to Beed, raise a question of fact as to whether the County’s or City’s employees acted unreasonably or with malice in continuing to detain Beed. See Lopez v. City of Oxnard, 207 Cal.App.3d 1 , 254 Cal.Rptr. 556, 560-62 (Cal.Ct.App.1989).
