Although Plaintiff brought his Complaint pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown
Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), he has only sued
individuals who are acting under color of state law. Therefore, the Court will construe
his claims as brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Martin v. Sias, 88 F.3d 774, 775
(9th Cir. 1996) (“Actions under § 1983 and those under Bivens are identical save for the
replacement of a state actor under § 1983 by a federal actor under Bivens.” (quoting Van
Strum v. Lawn, 940 F.2d 406, 409 (9th Cir. 1991))).

I.
Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and Filing Fee
2
Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C.
3
§ 1915(a). Plaintiff must pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).
4
The Court will not assess an initial partial filing fee. Id. The statutory filing fee will be
5
collected monthly in payments of 20% of the previous month’s income credited to
6
Plaintiff’s trust account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00. 28 U.S.C.
7
§ 1915(b)(2). The Court will enter a separate Order requiring the appropriate government
8
agency to collect and forward the fees according to the statutory formula.

II.
Statutory Screening of Prisoner Complaints
10
The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief
11
against a governmental entity or an officer or an employee of a governmental entity. 28
12
U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if a plaintiff
13
has raised claims that are legally frivolous or malicious, that fail to state a claim upon
14
which relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant who is
15
immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2).
16
A pleading must contain a “short and plain statement of the claim showing that the
17
pleader is entitled to relief.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2) (emphasis added). While Rule 8
18
does not demand detailed factual allegations, “it demands more than an unadorned, the-
19
defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation.”
20
(2009). “Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere
21
conclusory statements, do not suffice.” Id.
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678
22
“[A] complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a
23
claim to relief that is plausible on its face.’” Id. (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly,
24
550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)). A claim is plausible “when the plaintiff pleads factual
25
content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable
26
for the misconduct alleged.” Id. “Determining whether a complaint states a plausible
27
claim for relief [is] . . . a context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw
28
on its judicial experience and common sense.” Id. at 679. Thus, although a plaintiff’s
TERMPSREF
-2-
1
specific factual allegations may be consistent with a constitutional claim, a court must
2
assess whether there are other “more likely explanations” for a defendant’s conduct. Id.
3
at 681.
4
But as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has instructed,
5
courts must “continue to construe pro se filings liberally.” Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338,
6
342 (9th Cir. 2010). A “complaint [filed by a pro se prisoner] ‘must be held to less
7
stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.’” Id. (quoting Erickson v.
8
Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94 (2007) (per curiam)).

III.
10
Complaint
In his two-count Complaint, Plaintiff sues the following Defendants:
court-
11
appointed defense attorney Kari Jill Granville, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office
12
(MCSO) Sergeant Hansdall, MCSO Field Training Officer Abbott, and MCSO
13
Visitation/Inmate Property Department Officer Alger.
14
In Count One, Plaintiff alleges that he has received “ineffective advice of
15
counsel”, in violation of his Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and has
16
been subjected to a “[c]onspiracy to co[]erce incompetency during trial.” Plaintiff asserts
17
that when Defendant Granville initially met with Plaintiff, she told him that his case was
18
going to be “unbelievable” if Plaintiff took the stand and testified and that the testimony
19
of nine police officers would likely be more credible. Plaintiff states that Defendant
20
Granville suggested that Plaintiff make his testimony “beli[e]vable,” which Plaintiff
21
construed to mean that he should either not testify or testify falsely. Plaintiff contends
22
that when Plaintiff stated that he would testify truthfully, Defendant Granville explained
23
to Plaintiff that “[t]his system is nothing more th[a]n a ‘big pimp’ and unfortunately
24
[Plaintiff was] on the ‘whore’ end of the spectrum in this instance.” Plaintiff claims he
25
was injured because Defendant Granville tried to persuade him to either fabricate his
26
testimony or waive his right to testify and “disrespected [him] by calling [him] a Hoe!”
27
In Count Two, Plaintiff alleges that he has been subjected to cruel and unusual
28
punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. Although Plaintiff’s
TERMPSREF
-3-
1
rambling allegations are difficult to follow, it appears he is raising two separate claims.
2
First, it appears that Plaintiff is alleging that he was subjected to retaliation by
3
Defendants Alger and Abbott. Plaintiff asserts that after he filed a grievance regarding
4
Defendant Alger and informed Defendant Alger that he had filed two civil rights lawsuits
5
against another officer, Defendant Alger told Plaintiff that he should not attempt to
6
intimidate MCSO staff. Plaintiff states that he then noticed that he had named Defendant
7
Alger as a defendant in another lawsuit and then spoke to Defendant Alger regarding
8
Defendant Alger’s statement that Plaintiff should not attempt to intimidate staff.
9
Plaintiff contends that Defendant Alger directed other sergeants to target and
10
harass Plaintiff. He claims that the following day, Defendant Alger retaliated against
11
Plaintiff by serving Plaintiff with a disciplinary action report/write-up in which he
12
accused Plaintiff of using “laud” language in an inmate request form. He also asserts that
13
two shift sergeants approached Plaintiff’s cell and harassed Plaintiff by making him stand
14
up and show his face while he was sleeping or by telling him to remove a piece of paper
15
from his wall.
16
Defendant Abbott repeatedly kicked Plaintiff’s cell door and demanded that Plaintiff
17
show his face, although Plaintiff was asleep and his identification was in plain view.
Plaintiff claims that Plaintiff also contends that on one occasion,
18
Second, Plaintiff alleges that he was subjected to excessive force by Defendant
19
Hansdall. Plaintiff claims that Defendant Hansdall directed other officers to use chemical
20
devices and fire mace, pepper spray bullets, gas fogger bombs, and a taser at Plaintiff in
21
response to Plaintiff’s refusal to follow a nurse’s instruction that Plaintiff chew in her
22
presence a chewable Tums tablet. He also contends that after the medical department
23
“cleared” Plaintiff, Defendant Hansdall instructed other detention officers to put Plaintiff
24
in a “contaminated” holding cell for three hours.
25
Hansdall knew the cell was contaminated and that the holding cell was not well-
26
ventilated and the toilet was filled with urine and feces and would not flush. Plaintiff
27
also claims Defendant Hansdall was acting vicariously for Defendant Alger and another
28
officer.
TERMPSREF
-4-
Plaintiff asserts that Defendant
1
In his Request for Relief, Plaintiff seeks monetary damages and “interposition by
2
way of [an] injunction order” that requires Plaintiff to be transferred to the custody of the
3
United States Marshal “for the duration and final decision in [his] ongoing criminal
4
prosecution CR-2012-006837-001 DT.”
5
IV.
Failure to State a Claim
6
Although pro se pleadings are liberally construed, Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519,
7
520-21 (1972), conclusory and vague allegations will not support a cause of action. Ivey
8
v. Bd. of Regents of the Univ. of Alaska, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982). Further, a
9
liberal interpretation of a civil rights complaint may not supply essential elements of the
10
claim that were not initially pled. Id.
11
A.
12
A prerequisite for any relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is a showing that the
13
defendant has acted under the color of state law. A public defender or court-appointed
14
attorney representing a criminal defendant does not act under color of state law. See Polk
15
County v. Dodson, 454 U.S. 312, 325 (1981); see also Szijarto v. Legeman, 466 F.2d 864,
16
864 (9th Cir. 1972). However, a public defender engaged in intentional misconduct as a
17
part of a conspiracy with state actors to violate a plaintiff’s rights can be liable under
18
§ 1983 for that misconduct. See Tower v. Glover, 467 U.S. 914, 923 (1984).
Count One
19
To state a conspiracy claim, a plaintiff “must show ‘an agreement or ‘meeting of
20
the minds’ to violate constitutional rights.’” Franklin v. Fox, 312 F.3d 423, 441 (9th Cir.
21
2002) (citation omitted). The Court “need not, however, accept as true allegations that
22
are merely conclusory, unwarranted deductions of fact, or unreasonable inferences.”
23
Sprewell v. Golden State Warriors, 266 F.3d 979, 988 (9th Cir.), amended on other
24
grounds, 275 F.3d 1187 (9th Cir. 2001). “A mere allegation of conspiracy without
25
factual specificity is insufficient.” Karim-Panahi v. Los Angeles Police Dep’t, 839 F.2d
26
621, 626 (9th Cir. 1988); see also Woodrum v. Woodward County, 866 F.2d 1121, 1126
27
(9th Cir. 1989) (conclusory allegations of conspiracy did not support a § 1983 claim).
28
TERMPSREF
-5-
1
Plaintiff has used the word “conspiracy,” but has not made any allegations of an
2
agreement or meeting of the minds between Defendant Granville and any other
3
individual. Plaintiff has therefore failed to state a claim against Defendant Granville and
4
the Court will dismiss Defendant Granville and Count One.
5
B.
6
First, to the extent Plaintiff is alleging that Defendants Alger’s and Abbott’s
7
conduct constitutes excessive force, he has failed to state a claim. The Fourteenth
8
Amendment Due Process Clause, not the Eighth Amendment, protects pretrial detainees
9
from excessive force that amounts to punishment. Gibson v. County of Washoe, 290 F.3d
10
1175, 1197 (9th Cir. 2002). “[T]he Fourth Amendment sets the ‘applicable constitutional
11
limitations’ for considering claims of excessive force during pretrial detention.” Id.
12
(quoting Pierce v. Multnomah County, 76 F.3d 1032, 1043 (9th Cir. 1996).
Count Two – Defendants Alger and Abbott
13
The Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the use of reasonable force. Tatum v.
14
City & County of San Francisco, 441 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2006). Whether the force
15
was excessive depends on “whether the officers’ actions [were] ‘objectively reasonable’
16
in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them, without regard to their
17
underlying intent or motivation.” Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 397 (1989); Tatum,
18
441 F.3d at 1095; Lolli v. County of Orange, 351 F.3d 410, 415 (9th Cir. 2003). The
19
Court must balance the nature and quality of the intrusion against the countervailing
20
governmental interests at stake. Graham, 490 U.S. at 396; Lolli, 351 F.3d at 415.
21
Moreover,
[t]he “reasonableness” of a particular use of force must be
judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the
scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight. . . . .
“Not every push or shove, even if it may later seem
unnecessary in the peace of a judge’s chambers,” violates the
Fourth Amendment.
22
23
24
25
26
Graham, 490 U.S. at 396 (citations omitted).
Defendants Alger’s and Abbott’s conduct does not rise to the level of excessive
27
28
TERMPSREF
force.
See Oltarzewski v. Ruggiero, 830 F.2d 136, 139 (9th Cir. 1987) (“‘[v]erbal
-6-
1
harassment or abuse . . . is not sufficient to state a constitutional deprivation under 42
2
U.S.C. § 1983’” (quoting Collins v. Cundy, 603 F.2d 825, 827 (10th Cir. 1979))). Thus,
3
the Court will dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff’s excessive force claim against
4
Defendants Alger and Abbott.
5
Second, to the extent Plaintiff is alleging that he was subjected to retaliation by
6
Defendants Alger and Abbott, he has failed to state a claim. A viable claim of First
7
Amendment retaliation contains five basic elements: (1) an assertion that a state actor
8
took some adverse action against an inmate (2) because of (3) that prisoner’s protected
9
conduct, and that such action (4) chilled the inmate’s exercise of his First Amendment
10
rights (or that the inmate suffered more than minimal harm) and (5) did not reasonably
11
advance a legitimate correctional goal. Rhodes v. Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567-68 (9th
12
Cir. 2005); see also Hines v. Gomez, 108 F.3d 265, 267 (9th Cir. 1997) (retaliation claims
13
requires an inmate to show (1) that the prison official acted in retaliation for the exercise
14
of a constitutionally protected right, and (2) that the action “advanced no legitimate
15
penological interest”). The plaintiff has the burden of demonstrating that his exercise of
16
his First Amendment rights was a substantial or motivating factor behind the defendants’
17
conduct. Mt. Healthy City School Dist. Bd. of Educ. v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274, 287 (1977);
18
Soranno’s Gasco, Inc. v. Morgan, 874 F.2d 1310, 1314 (9th Cir. 1989).
19
Plaintiff does not allege that the exercise of his First Amendment rights was
20
chilled by Defendants Alger’s and Abbott’s conduct, that he suffered more than minimal
21
harm from their conduct, or that there was no reasonable correctional goal advanced by
22
their conduct. Thus, the Court will dismiss without prejudice Plaintiff’s retaliation claim
23
against Defendants Alger and Abbott.
24
Finally, to the extent Plaintiff is alleging that Defendant Hansdall was acting
25
vicariously for Defendant Alger, this does not state a claim against Defendant Alger
26
because there is no vicarious liability under § 1983. Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 676.

VI.
Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order
4
In his Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order,
5
Plaintiff seeks to be transferred to the custody of the United States Marshal “until the
6
conclusion of his state criminal proceeding in . . . . CR 2012-006837-001 DT”;2 to
7
prevent Defendants Hansdall, Abbott, and Alger from engaging in any written, verbal, or
8
physical interaction regarding “any of Plaintiff’s criminal proceedings and or institutional
9
functions”; and to prevent “any representation or hand[]ling of discover[y] of the
10
Plaintiff’s criminal case.”
11
Whether to grant or deny a motion for a temporary restraining order or preliminary
12
injunction is within the Court’s discretion. See Miss Universe, Inc. v. Flesher, 605 F.2d
13
1130, 1132-33 (9th Cir. 1979).
14

15
A temporary restraining order can be issued without notice
16
only if: (A) specific facts in an affidavit or a verified
complaint show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or
damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can
be heard in opposition; and (B) the movant’s attorney
certifies in writing any efforts made to give notice and the
reasons why it should not be required.

Preliminary Injunction
8
To obtain a preliminary injunction, the moving party must show “that he is likely
9
to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of
10
preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in
11
the public interest.” Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20

Environmental Council of Sacramento v. Slater, 184 F. Supp. 2d 1016, 1027 (E.D. Cal.

The moving party has the burden of proof on each element of the test.
15
To the extent Plaintiff is seeking a preliminary injunction, he has failed to meet his

burden and has failed to address many of the elements of the test. Thus, the Court will
