Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. All 93 flagged citations to Parviz Karim-Panahi v. Los Angeles Police Department have been read. The Ninth Circuit's decision in AE ex rel. Hernandez v. County of Tulare ended Karim-Panahi's rule that a bare allegation of municipal policy suffices to plead a § 1983 claim.
More on how this was screened

Loescher v. County of Plumas later identified that change. Karim-Panahi's other holdings, including liberal construction of pro se pleadings and the ability to sue California municipal police departments under § 1983, remain unaffected.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

385 later cases cite Parviz Karim-Panahi v. Los Angeles Police Department; 93 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

    AE ex rel. Hernandez v. County of Tulare · Ninth Circuit · filed

    Second, the factual allegations that are taken as true must plausibly suggest an entitlement to relief, such that it is not unfair to require the opposing party to be subjected to the expense of discovery and continued litigation. Starr, 652 F.3d at 1216. This standard applies to Monell claims and should govern future pleadings in this case.
