MEMORANDUM **

Robert John Guilford appeals pro se from the district court’s partial summary judgment and judgment following jury trial in his civil rights action alleging, inter alia, false arrest and excessive force in connection with his arrest for driving under the influence.

We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Guilford’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against the police department because he did not raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the department had any practice or policy that deprived him of his civil rights. See Boyd v. Benton County, 374 F.3d 773, 784 (9th Cir.2004). Guilford’s claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1985 were properly dismissed because he is not a member of “a class that requires special federal assistance in protecting its civil rights.” Gerritsen v. de la Madrid Hurtado, 819 F.2d 1511, 1519…
