PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Plaintiff Robert Paul (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
20
pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action
21
22
23
on May 12, 2011 and consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction on May 20, 2011. (ECF
No. 1 & 7.) Plaintiff’s Complaint is now before the Court for screening.
24
25
26
For the reasons set forth below, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s Complaint fails to
state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

SCREENING REQUIREMENTS
The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief
against a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C.
4
5
§ 1915A(a). The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the prisoner has
6
raised claims that are legally “frivolous or malicious,” that fail to state a claim upon which
7
relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from
8
such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2). “Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion
9
thereof, that may have been paid, the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court
10
determines that . . . the action or appeal . . . fails to state a claim upon which relief may be
11
12
granted.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
13
A complaint must contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the
14
pleader is entitled to relief . . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). Detailed factual allegations are
15
not required, but “[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by
16
mere conclusory statements, do not suffice.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949
17
(2009) (citing Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). Plaintiff must set
18
19
forth “sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim that is plausible on its
20
face.’” Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949 (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555). While factual
21
allegations are accepted as true, legal conclusions are not. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949.

SUMMARY OF COMPLAINT
Plaintiff brings this action for violations of his rights under the Americans with
Disabilities Act1 and the Eighth Amendment. Plaintiff names the following individuals as
25
26
27
1
Plaintiff states that he is bringing this action under the Am ericans with Disabilities Act, however,
nothing in the statem ent of the case appears to be subject to the ADA. Thus, the Court will not address
2
1
Defendants: Kathleen Allison, Dr. O. Onyeje, Mora, and Naverette.
2
3
Plaintiff alleges as follows: On August 16, 2010, Plaintiff tripped and/or slipped on
a broken or chipped wet tile floor, fell, and injured his left shoulder. Plaintiff was taken to
4
5
the clinic and diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder. A nurse applied a bandage, a doctor
6
ordered an x-ray, and Plaintiff was given pain medication. Plaintiff submitted a request for
7
additional pain medication, but he did not receive more until August 26, 2010 when he was
8
seen by Defendant Onyeje for an unrelated reason.
9
10
On October 8, 2010, Defendant Onyeje saw Plaintiff again, but failed to examine
Plaintiff thoroughly and refused to recommend that Plaintiff see a bone specialist for his
11
12
13
protruding shoulder bone. Plaintiff filed a grievance complaining about the injury and
resulting pain, which was denied at all levels.
Plaintiff repeatedly informed medical staff of his pain and suffering, but no response
14
15
was received.
16
17
Plaintiff seeks declaratory relief, and monetary, compensatory, and punitive
damages.

ANALYSIS
The Civil Rights Act under which this action was filed provides:
24
Every person who, under color of [state law] . . . subjects, or
causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States . . . to
the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured
by the Constitution . . . shall be liable to the party injured in an
action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for
redress.
25
42 U.S.C. § 1983. “Section 1983 . . . creates a cause of action for violations of the federal
21
22
23
26
27
the alleged ADA violation.
3
1
Constitution and laws.” Sweaney v. Ada County, Idaho, 119 F.3d 1385, 1391 (9th Cir.
2
1997) (internal quotations omitted).
3
A.
Failure to Train/Supervise Claim
4
5
Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Allison failed to train and/or supervise her
6
employees. Plaintiff also claims that Defendant Allison failed to investigate the incident.
7
Supervisory personnel are generally not liable under Section 1983 for the actions
8
of their employees under a theory of respondeat superior. Monell v. Dep’t. of Soc. Servs.,
9
436 U.S. 658, 691 (1978). Therefore, when a named defendant holds a supervisory
10
position, the causal link between him and the claimed constitutional violation must be
11
12
specifically alleged. See Fayle v. Stapley, 607 F.2d 858, 862 (9th Cir. 1979). In other
13
words, “[u]nder § 1983 a supervisor is only liable for his own acts. Where the constitutional
14
violations were largely committed by subordinates the supervisor is liable only if he
15
participated in or directed the violations.” Humphries v. County of Los Angeles, 554 F.3d
16
1170, 1202 (9th Cir. 2009).
17
A supervisor’s failure to train subordinates may give rise to individual liability under
18
19
Section 1983 where the failure amounts to deliberate indifference to the rights of persons
20
whom the subordinates are likely to come into contact. See Canell v. Lightner, 143, F.3d
21
1210, 1213-14 (9th Cir. 1998). To impose liability under this theory, a plaintiff must
22
demonstrate that the subordinate’s training was inadequate, that the inadequate training
23
was a deliberate choice on the part of the supervisor, and that the inadequate training
24
caused a constitutional violation. Id. at 1214; see also City of Canton v. Harris, 489 U.S.
25
378, 391 (1989); Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 681 (9th Cir. 2001).
26
27
Here, Plaintiff’s conclusory allegations state nothing in the way of demonstrating this
4
1
claim and therefore fails to state a claim. It does not appear that Defendant Allison was
2
aware of Plaintiff’s injury or how it occurred. Furthermore, Plaintiff does not state anything
3
about any inadequate training, that the inadequate training was a deliberate choice made
4
5
by Defendant Allison, or that the inadequate training caused the constitutional violations.
6
If he chooses to amend this claim, Plaintiff must specify which aspects of
7
Defendant’s training were deficient, how Defendant Allison was responsible for those
8
deficiencies, and how those deficiencies caused subordinate Defendants to harm Plaintiff.
9
10
B.
Conditions of Confinement Claim
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Mora and Naverette were deliberately indifferent
11
12
to the conditions of confinement in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Specifically,
13
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants failed to walk around the building where Plaintiff’s injury
14
occurred, and inspect and detect all hazardous/dangerous/threatening conditions. Plaintiff
15
states that he fell because of the condition of the floor. Plaintiff states that the floor was
16
wet and chipped causing a risk to Plaintiff’s safety.2
17
The Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment requires that
18
19
prison officials take reasonable measures for the safety of inmates. See Farmer v.
20
Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994). A prison official
21
violates the Eighth Amendment only when two requirements are met: (1) the deprivation
22
alleged is, objectively, sufficiently serious, and (2) the official is, subjectively, deliberately
23
indifferent to the inmate’s safety. See id. at 834. “[O]nly those deprivations denying ‘the
24
minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities,’ are sufficiently grave to form the basis of
25
26
2
27
The Court notes that Plaintiff’s fall occurred som ewhere near or in the bathroom .
5
1
an Eighth Amendment violation.” Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 298, 111 S.Ct. 2321, 115
2
L.Ed.2d 271 (1991) (citation omitted). The Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and
3
unusual punishment “imposes a duty on prison officials to provide humane conditions of
4
5
confinement and to take reasonable measures to guarantee the safety of the inmates.
6
However, every injury suffered by an inmate does not necessarily translate into
7
constitutional liability for prison officials.” Osolinski v. Kane, 92 F.3d 934, 936-37 (9th Cir.
8
1996).
9
10
Where a prisoner alleges injuries stemming from unsafe conditions of confinement,
prison officials may be held liable only if they acted with “deliberate indifference to a
11
12
substantial risk of serious harm.” Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, (9th Cir. 1998) (citing
13
Farmer v.. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 835 (1994). The deliberate indifference standard
14
involves an objective and a subjective prong. First, the alleged deprivation must be, in
15
objective terms, “sufficiently serious.” Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. at 834 (citing Wilson
16
v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 298 (1991)). Second, the prison official must “know of and
17
disregard an excessive risk to inmate health or safety.” Id. at 837. Thus, “a prison official
18
may be held liable under the Eighth Amendment for denying humane conditions of
19
20
confinement only if he knows that inmates face a substantial risk of harm and disregards
21
that risk by failing to take reasonable measures to abate it.” Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S.
22
at 835.
23
24
Plaintiff states that, upon exiting the bathroom, he slipped and fell on a wet and
broken/chipped tile floor, injuring his shoulder. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Mora and
25
Naverette were on duty at that time. Plaintiff also alleges that staff failed to place a work
26
27
order for a repair. Plaintiff state that Defendants Mora and Naverette failed to walk around
6
1
building. This indicates that Defendants Mora and Naverette were not aware that the
2
bathroom floor was in disrepair. Defendants cannot be deliberately indifferent to a
3
condition that they were not aware of. Thus, Plaintiff’s claim fails and he is given leave to
4
5
6
amend. To state a claim, Plaintiff must demonstrate deliberate indifference to a substantial
risk of harm.
7
C.
8
Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Onyeje was deliberately indifferent to Plaintiff’s
9
serious medical need in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges
10
Medical Care Claim
that Defendant Onyeje failed to adequately examine Plaintiff and was deliberately
11
12
indifferent to Plaintiff’s injury when Plaintiff requested to be seen by a bone specialist.
13
“[T]o maintain an Eighth Amendment claim based on prison medical treatment, an
14
inmate must show ‘deliberate indifference to serious medical needs.’” Jett v. Penner, 439
15
F.3d 1091, 1096 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976)). The
16
two part test for deliberate indifference requires the plaintiff to show (1) “‘a serious medical
17
need’ by demonstrating that ‘failure to treat a prisoner’s condition could result in further
18
19
significant injury or the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain,’” and (2) “the defendant’s
20
response to the need was deliberately indifferent.” Jett, 439 F.3d at 1096 (quoting
21
McGuckin v. Smith, 974 F.2d 1050, 1059 (9th Cir. 1992), overruled on other grounds,
22
WMX Techs., Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir. 1997) (en banc) (internal quotations
23
omitted)). Deliberate indifference is shown by “a purposeful act or failure to respond to a
24
prisoner’s pain or possible medical need, and harm caused by the indifference.” Jett, 439
25
F.3d at 1096 (citing McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1060). In order to state a claim for violation of
26
27
the Eighth Amendment, a plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to support a claim that the
7
1
named defendants “[knew] of and disregard[ed] an excessive risk to [Plaintiff’s] health . .
2
. .” Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994).
3
The objective component of deliberate indifference requires the showing of a
4
5
serious medical need. “A ‘serious’ medical need exists if the failure to treat a prisoner’s
6
condition could result in further significant injury or the ‘unnecessary and wanton infliction
7
of pain’.” McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1059 (9th Cir. 1992) (quoting Estelle, 429 U.S. at 104);
8
see also Jett, 439 F.3d at 1096. “This is true whether the indifference is manifested by
9
prison doctors in their response to the prisoner’s needs or by prison guards in intentionally
10
denying or delaying access to medical care or intentionally interfering with treatment once
11
12
13
prescribed.” Estelle, 429 U.S. at 104-105. The objective element requires proof that the
prisoner’s serious medical needs were not timely and properly treated.
14
The subjective component of deliberate indifference considers the nature of the
15
defendant’s response to the serious medical need and whether the defendant had a
16
culpable mental state, which is “‘deliberate indifference’ to a substantial risk of serious
17
harm.” Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1128 (9th Cir. 1998) (quoting Farmer, 511 U.S. at
18
835). “[T]he official must both be aware of the facts from which the inference could be
19
20
drawn that a substantial risk of serious harm exists, and he must also draw the inference.”
21
Farmer, 511 U.S. at 837. “[T]he official’s conduct must have been ‘wanton,’ which turns
22
not upon its effect on the prisoner, but rather, upon the constraints facing the official.”
23
Frost, 152 F.3d at 1128 (quoting Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 302-303 (1991)). “This
24
second prong--defendant’s response to the need was deliberately indifferent--is satisfied
25
by showing (a) a purposeful act or failure to respond to a prisoner’s pain or possible
26
27
medical need and (b) harm caused by the indifference.” Jett, 439 F.3d at 1096 (citing
8
1
McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1060). “A prisoner need not show his harm was substantial;
2
however, such would provide additional support for the inmate’s claim that the defendant
3
was deliberately indifferent to his needs.” Id. Indications of a serious medical need include
4
5
“[t]he existence of an injury that a reasonable doctor or patient would find important and
6
worthy of comment or treatment; the presence of a medical condition that significantly
7
affects an individual’s daily activities; or the existence of chronic and substantial pain.”
8
McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1059-60 (citing Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1337-41 (9th
9
Cir. 1990)).
10
If the claim alleges mere delay of treatment, the inmate must establish that the delay
11
12
resulted in some harm. McGuckin, 974 F .2d at 1060 (citing Shapley v. Nevada Board of
13
State Prison Comm’rs, 766 F.2d 404, 407 (9th Cir.1985) (per curiam)). The delay need not
14
cause permanent injury. McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1060; see also Hudson v. McMillian, 503
15
U.S. 1, 10 (1992). Unnecessary infliction of pain is sufficient to satisfy this requirement.
16
Id.
17
In applying this standard, the Ninth Circuit has held that before it can be said that
18
a prisoner’s civil rights have been abridged, “the indifference to his medical needs must be
19
20
substantial. Mere ‘indifference,’ ‘negligence,’ or ‘medical malpractice’ will not support this
21
cause of action.” Broughton v. Cutter Laboratories, 622 F.2d 458, 460 (9th Cir. 1980)
22
(citing Estelle, 429 U.S. at 105-06). “[A] complaint that a physician has been negligent in
23
diagnosing or treating a medical condition does not state a valid claim of medical
24
mistreatment under the Eighth Amendment. Medical malpractice does not become a
25
constitutional violation merely because the victim is a prisoner.” Estelle, 429 U.S. at 106;
26
27
see also Anderson v. County of Kern, 45 F.3d 1310, 1316 (9th Cir. 1995); McGuckin, 974
9
1
F.2d at 1050, overruled on other grounds, WMX, 104 F.3d at 1136. Even gross negligence
2
is insufficient to establish deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. See Wood v.
3
Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1334 (9th Cir. 1990).
4
5
Also, “a difference of opinion between a prisoner-patient and prison medical
6
authorities regarding treatment does not give rise to a § 1983 claim.” Franklin v. Oregon,
7
662 F.2d 1337, 1344 (9th Cir. 1981) (internal citation omitted). To prevail, Plaintiff “must
8
show that the course of treatment the doctors chose was medically unacceptable under
9
the circumstances . . . and . . . that they chose this course in conscious disregard of an
10
excessive risk to plaintiff’s health.” Jackson v. McIntosh, 90 F.3d 330, 332 (9th Cir. 1986)
11
12
(internal citations omitted). A prisoner’s mere disagreement with diagnosis or treatment
13
does not support a claim of deliberate indifference. Sanchez v. Vild, 891 F.2d 240, 242
14
(9th Cir. 1989).
15
Plaintiff fails to sufficiently state a violation by Defendant Onyeje. Plaintiff states that
16
Defendant Onyeje saw Plaintiff at least twice, and that he ordered an x-ray. Plaintiff states
17
that Defendant Onyeje also prescribed additional pain medication. These statements do
18
not demonstrate deliberate indifference. It appears that, perhaps, Plaintiff disagreed with
19
20
the treatment he received and with Defendant’s denial of a recommendation to a bone
21
specialist. However, as stated above, mere disagreement does not state a claim for
22
deliberate indifference. Thus, Plaintiff has failed to state a claim against Defendant
23
Onyeje. Plaintiff is given leave to amend his claim. If he chooses to do so, he must keep
24
in mind the above legal standard.
25
D.
Personal Participation and Supervisory Liability
26
27
It appears that Plaintiff is arguing that Defendant Allison is liable for the conduct of
10
1
her subordinates as she was not present and did not participate in the complained of
2
conduct as currently described by Plaintiff.
3
Under Section 1983, Plaintiff must demonstrate that each named Defendant
4
5
personally participated in the deprivation of his rights. Jones v. Williams, 297 F.3d 930,
6
934 (9th Cir. 2002). The Supreme Court has emphasized that the term “supervisory
7
liability,” loosely and commonly used by both courts and litigants alike, is a misnomer.
8
Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949.
9
unconstitutional conduct of their subordinates under a theory of respondeat superior.” Id.
10
“Government officials may not be held liable for the
at 1948. Rather, each government official, regardless of his or her title, is only liable for
11
12
his or her own misconduct, and therefore, Plaintiff must demonstrate that each defendant,
13
through his or her own individual actions, violated Plaintiff’s constitutional rights. Id. at
14
1948-49.
15
When examining the issue of supervisor liability, it is clear that the supervisors are
16
not subject to vicarious liability, but are liable only for their own conduct. Jeffers v. Gomez,
17
267 F.3d 895, 915 (9th Cir. 2001); Wesley v. Davis, 333 F.Supp.2d 888, 892 (C.D.Cal.
18
2004). In order to establish liability against a supervisor, a plaintiff must allege facts
19
20
demonstrating (1) personal involvement in the constitutional deprivation, or (2) a sufficient
21
causal connection between the supervisor’s wrongful conduct and the constitutional
22
violation. Jeffers, 267 F.3d at 915; Wesley, 333 F.Supp.2d at 892. The sufficient causal
23
connection may be shown by evidence that the supervisor implemented a policy so
24
deficient that the policy itself is a repudiation of constitutional rights.
Wesley, 333
25
F.Supp.2d at 892 (internal quotations omitted). However, an individual’s general
26
27
responsibility for supervising the operations of a prison is insufficient to establish personal
11
1
2
3
involvement. Id. (internal quotations omitted).
Supervisor liability under Section 1983 is a form of direct liability. Munoz v.
Kolender, 208 F.Supp.2d 1125, 1149 (S.D.Cal. 2002). Under direct liability, Plaintiff must
4
5
show that Defendant breached a duty to him which was the proximate cause of his injury.
6
Id. “‘The requisite causal connection can be established . . . by setting in motion a series
7
of acts by others which the actor knows or reasonably should know would cause others to
8
inflict the constitutional injury.’” Id. (quoting Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743-744 (9th
9
Cir. 1978)).
10
However “where the applicable constitutional standard is deliberate
indifference, a plaintiff may state a claim for supervisory liability based upon the
11
12
13
supervisor’s knowledge of and acquiescence in unconstitutional conduct by others.” Star
v. Baca, 633 F.3d 1191, 1196 (9th Cir. 2011).
14
Plaintiff has not alleged facts demonstrating that Defendant Allison personally acted
15
to violate his rights. If Plaintiff chooses to amend and include this Defendant, he needs to
16
specifically link each Defendant to a violation of his rights.
17
E.
Declaratory Relief
18
19
Plaintiff states that he seeks declaratory relief. With regard to declaratory relief, “[a]
20
declaratory judgment, like other forms of equitable relief, should be granted only as a
21
matter of judicial discretion, exercised in the public interest.” Eccles v. Peoples Bank of
22
Lakewood Village, 333 U.S. 426, 431 (1948). “Declaratory relief should be denied when
23
it will neither serve a useful purpose in clarifying and settling the legal relations in issue nor
24
terminate the proceedings and afford relief from the uncertainty and controversy faced by
25
the parties.” United States v. Washington, 759 F.2d 1353, 1357 (9th Cir. 1985). In the
26
27
event that this action reaches trial and the jury returns a verdict in favor of Plaintiff, that
12
1
verdict will be a finding that Plaintiff’s constitutional rights were violated. A declaration that
2
Defendants violated Plaintiff’s rights is unnecessary.
3
V.
CONCLUSION AND ORDER
4
5
The Court finds that Plaintiff’s Complaint fails to state any Section 1983 claims upon
6
which relief may be granted. The Court will provide Plaintiff time to file an amended
7
complaint to address the potentially correctable deficiencies noted above. See Noll v.
8
Carlson, 809 F.2d 1446, 1448-49 (9th Cir. 1987). In his Amended Complaint, Plaintiff must
9
demonstrate that the alleged incident or incidents resulted in a deprivation of his
10
constitutional rights. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1948-49. Plaintiff must set forth “sufficient factual
11
12
matter . . . to ‘state a claim that is plausible on its face.’” Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949 (quoting
13
Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555). Plaintiff must also demonstrate that each defendant personally
14
participated in the deprivation of his rights. Jones, 297 F.3d at 934.
15
Plaintiff should note that although he has been given the opportunity to amend, it
16
is not for the purposes of adding new defendants or claims. Plaintiff should focus the
17
amended complaint on claims and defendants relating solely to his fall, subsequent
18
19
shoulder injury, and treatment of that injury.
20
Finally, Plaintiff is advised that Local Rule 220 requires that an amended complaint
21
be complete in itself without reference to any prior pleading. As a general rule, an
22
amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. See Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55,
23
57 (9th Cir. 1967). Once an amended complaint is filed, the original complaint no longer
24
serves any function in the case. Therefore, in an amended complaint, as in an original
25
complaint, each claim and the involvement of each defendant must be sufficiently alleged.
26
27
The amended complaint should be clearly and boldly titled “First Amended Complaint,”
13
1
refer to the appropriate case number, and be an original signed under penalty of perjury.
2
Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
3
1.
Plaintiff’s Complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim, with leave to file
4
an amended complaint within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this
5
order;
6
2.
7
8
Plaintiff shall caption the amended complaint First Amended Complaint” and
refer to the case number 1:11-cv-769-GBC (PC); and
9
3.
10
If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this action will be dismissed for
failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
11
IT IS SO ORDERED.
