Props., LLC v. City of Carson, 640 F.3d 948, 955 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Jones’s action because Jones only
seeks damages, and damages are not available for violations of 42 U.S.C. §2000a
et seq. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000a–3; Newman v. Piggie Park Enters., Inc., 390 U.S.
400, 402 (1968) (“When a plaintiff brings an action under [Title II], he cannot
recover damages.”).
AFFIRMED.
