jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Wallis v. Princess
Cruises, Inc., 306 F.3d 827, 832 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Robinson
failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the City deprived her
of any right secured by federal law without due process. See Mathews v. Eldridge,
424 U.S. 319, 335 (1976) (setting forth requirements for procedural due process);
see also Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 328 (1986) (“We conclude that the Due
Process Clause is simply not implicated by a negligent act of an official causing
unintended loss of or injury to life, liberty, or property.”).
AFFIRMED.
