Carroll v. United States Postal Service

22 F. App'x 785

Opinion

MEMORANDUM**

Louis Carroll, Jr. appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants in his Bivens action, which alleged that United States Postal Service inspectors violated his constitutional rights during a mail fraud investigation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a summary judgment, Lite-On Peripherals, Inc. v. Burlington Aire Express, Inc., 255 F.3d 1189, 1192 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.

The district court did not err by granting summary judgment. The six USPS inspectors were entitled to qualified im munity because they acted as reasonable officers under the circumstances of conducting a mail fraud investigation. See LaLonde v. County of Riverside, 204 F.3d 947, 953 (9th Cir.2000).

AFFIRMED.
