INTRODUCTION
In this putative class action, named plaintiffs, Callie Maidhof, Zachary Solomon Miller,
20
Brian Glasscock, Laura Zelko, Joshua Clover, and Luzilda Carrillo—on behalf of themselves and
21
60 other individuals (collectively, “Plaintiffs”)—assert Fourth and First Amendment civil rights
22
claims arising from their arrest and detention following a 2009 protest on the University of
23
California, Berkeley (“University”) campus. Am. Compl. (“Complaint”), ECF No. 14.1 In their
24
first claim, Plaintiffs allege that the University of California, Berkeley Police Department
25
(“UCBPD”), acting on the orders of University officials, arrested them without probable cause,
26
wrongfully detained them on campus for several hours, and sent them to Alameda County Jail for

processing in violation of the Fourth Amendment. In their second claim, Plaintiffs allege that the
2
University and UCBPD normally cite and release nonviolent misdemeanants, but here sent
3
Plaintiffs to jail in retaliation for their exercise of their First Amendment rights. See Id. at 10,

¶¶ 48-49. Plaintiffs seek relief from three defendants:2

7
UCBPD Chief Mitchell Celaya (“Celaya”);
University Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Harry LeGrande (“LeGrande”);
and
University Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau (“Birgeneau”).
8
Id. at 4-5, ¶¶ 15-18. Plaintiffs seek damages against the individual defendants and injunctive
9
relief against all defendants. Id. at 2, ¶¶ 1-2. Defendants jointly move to dismiss Plaintiffs‟
Northern District of California
second claim for relief, which alleges that Celaya and LeGrande, in their personal capacities, and
11
United States District Court
10
all three remaining defendants in their official capacities, violated Plaintiffs‟ rights under the First
12
Amendment.
13
After considering the case history, the parties‟ papers, and law, the court determines that
14
this matter is appropriate for resolution without oral argument. N.D. Cal. L.R. 7-1(b). The court
15
now DENIES in part and GRANTS in part Defendants‟ motion to dismiss Plaintiffs‟ First

Amended Complaint.

FACTS
Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of present and former University students and
19
community members3 who set up an informational session they called the Open University in
20
Wheeler Hall on the University campus. Id. at 2, ¶ 3. The purpose of the Open University was to
21
protest University budget cuts, tuition increases, and the “skewed priorities” of the University of
22
California system. Id. at 6, ¶ 27. Plaintiffs intended for the Open University to operate 24 hours a
23
day from December 7 to December 12, 2009. Id. at 2, ¶ 3, 6, ¶ 25. University officials, including
24
25
26

28
2
On February 28th, 2012, Plaintiffs dismissed all claims against Mark Decoulode. Notice
of Dismissal, ECF No. 21.
3
The Complaint refers to all Plaintiffs as “students” while acknowledging that some
Plaintiffs were not students. Compare Compl., ECF No. 14 at 2, ¶ 3, with 10, ¶ 48. For ease of
reference, the court will follow Plaintiffs‟ usage.

Celaya and LeGrande, had advance notice of the planned Open University protest and decided not
2
to prevent it from going forward. Id. at 7, ¶ 28.
3
On December 7, 2009, the protestors entered Wheeler Hall and began their protest. Id. at
4
7, ¶ 31. When the building closed, the protestors refused to comply with a UCBPD order to leave
5
the premises. Id. at 7, ¶¶ 32-33. Eventually, the students, UCBPD, and Defendants agreed to an
6
arrangement whereby the protestors could remain in Wheeler Hall for the night. Id. at 7, ¶ 33.
7
The next day, University officials, including Celaya and LeGrande, held a meeting to
morning of Saturday, December 11. Id. UCBPD relayed this information to the protestors,
10
telling them they would be given “informal sanction” to continue the Open University until
11
Northern District of California
discuss the protests. Id. at 8, ¶ 25. They agreed to permit the protest to continue until the
9
United States District Court
8
Saturday morning. Id. at 8, ¶ 36. UCBPD officers were present in Wheeler Hall throughout the
12
protest and permitted the protestors to enter and leave Wheeler Hall unhindered. Id. at 8, ¶¶ 34-
13
39, 9, ¶ 44.
14
On Thursday, December 10, University officials learned that the protestors planned to
15
stage a concert to celebrate the end of the Open University. Id. at 8, ¶ 40. University officials
16
and student representatives met to discuss the planned concert. Id. During another private
17
meeting, however, University officials, including LeGrande and Celaya decided to have all of the
18
protestors arrested, though they never communicated this decision to the students. Id. at 9,
19
¶¶ 41, 43.
20
Early in the morning on Friday, December 11, 2009, UCBPD officers acting on the orders
21
of Celaya and LeGrande sealed off the doors to Wheeler Hall and began arresting the students as
22
they slept. Id. at 9, ¶ 46. In total, the UCBPD arrested 66 students, who were then detained in the
23
basement of Wheeler Hall, processed, and interrogated for several hours. Id. at 10, ¶ 48. The
24
arrested students were then transferred to Alameda County Jail. Id.
25
The UCBPD generally cites and releases people who have committed non-violent
26
misdemeanors. Id. at 10, ¶ 49. According to Plaintiffs, however, the UCBPD has a policy of
27
jailing protestors exercising their First Amendment rights in order to punish them and discourage
28
future protests. Id. at 10, ¶¶ 49, 51. In this instance, the decision to send the protestors to
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
3
1
Alameda County Jail, rather than citing and releasing them, was made by Celaya and LeGrande,
2
allegedly with Birgeneau‟s agreement. Id. at 10, ¶ 50. In fact, Celaya indicated that jailing the
3
arrested students was beneficial because it prevented them from joining the protests that arose in
4
response to their arrest. Id. at 10, ¶ 52.

LEGAL STANDARDS
A. Motion to Dismiss
A court may dismiss a complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) when it
8
does not contain enough facts to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face. See Bell
9
Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). “A claim has facial plausibility when the
Northern District of California
plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the
11
United States District Court
10
defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009).
12
“The plausibility standard is not akin to a „probability requirement,‟ but it asks for more than a
13
sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully.” Id. (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 557).
14
“While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual
15
allegations, a plaintiff‟s obligation to provide the „grounds‟ of his „entitle[ment] to relief requires
16
more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action
17
will not do. Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative
18
level.” Twombly, 500 U.S. at 555 (internal citations and parentheticals omitted). “In sum, for a
19
complaint to survive a motion to dismiss, the non-conclusory factual content, and reasonable
20
inferences from that content, must be plausibly suggestive of a claim entitling the plaintiff to
21
relief.” Moss v. U.S. Secret Service, 572 F.3d 962, 969 (9th Cir. 2009) (internal quotation
22
omitted).
23
In considering a motion to dismiss, a court must accept as true all well-pleaded factual
24
allegations and construe them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. See Bell Atlantic Corp.
25
v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 550 (2007); Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 93-94 (2007); Vasquez v.
26
Los Angeles Cnty., 487 F.3d 1246, 1249 (9th Cir. 2007).
27
28
If the court dismisses the complaint, it should grant leave to amend even if no request to
amend is made “unless it determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured by the
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
4
1
allegation of other facts.” Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir. 2000) (quoting Cook,
2
Perkiss and Liehe, Inc. v. N. Cal. Collection Serv. Inc., 911 F.2d 242, 247 (9th Cir. 1990)).
3
4
B. 42 U.S.C. § 1983
Plaintiffs‟ claims arise under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983,
5
a plaintiff must allege two elements: (1) that a right secured by the constitution or laws of the
6
United States was violated, and (2) that the alleged violation was committed by a person acting
7
under the color of state law. See West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988). Further, in order to
8
establish individual liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, “a plaintiff must plead that each
9
Government-official defendant, through the official‟s own actions, has violated the Constitution.”

IV.
DISCUSSION
Defendants move for dismissal on the grounds that the factual allegations in the Complaint are
13
insufficient to plausibly establish Plaintiffs‟ entitlement to relief against any Defendants, whether
14
in their individual or official capacities. Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 6. The court will
15
analyze Plaintiffs‟ individual and official capacity claims in turn.
16
A. Plaintiffs’ Individual Capacity Claims
17
Plaintiffs seek damages from UCBPD Chief Celaya and University Vice Chancellor for
18
Student Affairs LeGrande in their individual capacities for allegedly retaliating against them in
19
violation of the First Amendment. Compl., ECF No. 14 at 10, ¶¶ 50-51, 12, ¶ 59. In order to
20
prevail on this claim, Protestors must eventually show that: (1) Defendants took action “that
21
would chill or silence a person of ordinary firmness from future First Amendment activities” and
22
(2) that the “desire to cause the chilling effect was a but-for cause of the defendants‟ action.”
23
Skoog v. County of Clackamas, 469 F.3d 1221, 1232 (9th Cir. 2006).
24
Defendants‟ motion to dismiss Plaintiffs‟ individual capacity claims is solely directed to
25
the sufficiency of the allegations under the second Skoog element, which requires a showing of
26
retaliatory intent. Reply, ECF No. 20 at 1-2. Defendants argue that the Complaint fails to allege
27
retaliatory intent because Plaintiffs‟ allegations are based on conclusory assertions rather than
28
factual content. Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 11. Thus, the main inquiry before the court is
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
5
1
whether Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged that Celaya and LeGrande had them arrested and sent
2
to Alameda County Jail in order to punish them “for engaging in free speech or to discourage
3
others from engaging in free speech in the future.” Compl., ECF No. 14 at 5, ¶ 21.
4
As an initial step, Plaintiffs sufficiently allege that it was Celaya and LeGrande, at least in
5
part, who had them arrested and sent to Alameda County Jail. Plaintiffs specifically allege that
6
Celaya and LeGrande, with Birgeneau‟s agreement, decided to send Plaintiffs to Alameda County
7
Jail instead of citing and releasing them. Compl., ECF No. 14 at 10, ¶ 50. The court does not
8
assume the truth of this conclusory allegation, however, based on the Supreme Court‟s analysis in
9
Iqbal. There, Iqbal alleged that former Attorney General Ashcroft was the “principal architect” of
Northern District of California
the allegedly unlawful policy and that former FBI Director Mueller “was „instrumental‟ in
11
United States District Court
10
adopting and executing it.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 680-81. The Supreme Court found that these
12
allegations were “nothing more than a formulaic recitation of the elements of a constitutional
13
discrimination claim….” Id. at 681. For the same reasons, the court does not assume the truth of
14
the allegations in paragraph 50 of Plaintiffs‟ Complaint. Rather, Plaintiffs must support these
15
conclusions with other factual allegations.
16
Plaintiffs‟ other factual allegations, however, are sufficient. First, in their roles as Chief of
17
the UCBPD and University Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Celaya and LeGrande were
18
likely to be involved in decisions regarding protests on campus. Compl., ECF No. 14 at 4, ¶¶ 15-
19
16. Second, Plaintiffs allege that they obtained documents indicating that Celaya and LeGrande
20
had advance knowledge of Plaintiffs‟ plans and attended meetings where it was decided to let the
21
protest proceed. Id. at 6-8, ¶¶ 28, 35. Third, Plaintiffs claim to have obtained documents
22
showing that Celaya and LeGrande, in conjunction with other University officials, decided to
23
have Plaintiffs arrested after learning that they planned to stage a concert. Id. at 8-9, ¶¶ 40-41.
24
These allegations provide sufficient factual support for the otherwise conclusory allegation that
25
Celaya and LeGrande ordered the University police to arrest Plaintiffs. See Id. at 9, ¶ 42. It is
26
reasonable to infer from the same facts that Celaya and LeGrande may have decided to process
27
Plaintiffs at Alameda County Jail, rather than citing and releasing them. Thus, the final question
28
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
6
1
is whether Plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that Celaya and LeGrande were each acting out of
2
retaliatory intent in sending them to the county jail.
3
Defendants argue that Plaintiffs‟ retaliatory intent allegations are conclusory. See, e.g.,
4
Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 10. For example, the Complaint states that “the decision to send
5
the Plaintiffs to jail was made in order to punish students for exercising their First Amendment
6
rights and to dissuade people from protesting at UC Berkeley in the future.” ECF No. 14 at 10, ¶
7
51. As Defendants point out, in Moss, the Ninth Circuit found analogous allegations of
8
impermissible motive to be conclusory and not entitled to an assumption of truth without further
9
factual support. Reply, ECF No. 20 at 8 (citing Moss, 572 F.3d at 970). Here, the court agrees
10
Northern District of California
United States District Court
11
that the allegation in paragraph 51 of the complaint is conclusory.
Nonetheless, Plaintiffs have alleged other facts that sufficiently support their general
12
allegations of retaliatory intent. For example, in paragraph 49 of the First Amended Complaint,
13
Plaintiffs make two allegations: (1) that UCBPD generally cites and releases nonviolent
14
misdemeanants, and (2) that arresting, rather than citing and releasing, nonviolent misdemeanants
15
is a violation of California law. Defendants argue that the first allegation is vague and the second
16
allegation is legally incorrect.4 Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 11. Although somewhat general,
17
Plaintiffs‟ allegation regarding UCBPD‟s practice of citing and releasing nonviolent
18
misdemeanants is a statement of fact entitled to the presumption of truth. The statement is further
19
supported by allegations that many Plaintiffs are University students, who are likely to have
20
knowledge of such practices. See Compl., ECF No. 14 at 3-4 ¶¶ 9-14. The court, however, does
21
not assume the truth of Plaintiffs‟ legal conclusion that UCBPD is required to cite and release
22
nonviolent misdemeanants. Still, in combination with the other factual allegations, Plaintiffs have
23
plausibly alleged that their alleged mistreatment was retaliatory because they were detained and
24
25
26
27
28
The parties spend much of their briefing disputing whether Defendants‟ alleged actions
constitute violations of California Penal Code § 853.6. See, e.g., Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at
11-12; Opp‟n, ECF No. 19 at 10-11; Reply, ECF No. 20 at 4-5. While Defendants‟ statutory
analysis is compelling, the court‟s ultimate ruling is not predicated on finding retaliatory intent
through any such statutory violation.
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
7
4
1
processed differently from other misdemeanants who were not arrested while exercising their
2
First Amendment rights.
3
Finally, Plaintiffs must allege that each individual defendant acted with the requisite
4
retaliatory intent and was a but-for cause of the constitutional rights violations at issue. Leer v.
5
Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 633 (9th Cir. 1988); Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 17; Reply, ECF No.
6
20 at 9. Plaintiffs easily satisfy this burden with regard to UCBPD Chief Celaya. According to
7
the Complaint, Celaya indicated that the benefit of sending the students to the county jail was that
8
they would not be available to join the protests that arose in response to their arrests. Id. at
9
10, ¶ 52. Defendants argue that this “post-arrest comment” 5 fails to establish retaliatory intent
Northern District of California
because it “says nothing about the pre-arrest decision to transport the arrestees to [Alameda
11
United States District Court
10
County Jail] for booking….” Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 18. Given the liberal pleading
12
standards of Rule 8, the court finds that this statement is sufficient to plausibly allege retaliatory
13
intent at this stage of the proceedings.
14
Plaintiffs also sufficiently allege that Vice Chancellor LeGrande acted with retaliatory
15
intent for the purpose of chilling free speech. As discussed, the Complaint makes specific factual
16
allegations supporting the inference that LeGrande decided to have Plaintiffs arrested and
17
processed at Alameda County Jail. This represents an abrupt change from the University‟s
18
previously tolerant attitude toward Plaintiffs. One plausible explanation for this change is that
19
LeGrande decided to punish Plaintiffs in the hope of chilling further First Amendment activities.
20
Plaintiffs allege that these acts were done with the motive to retaliate against them and were the
21
proximate cause of injury and damages. Compl., ECF No. 14 at 12, ¶ 60. At this early stage of
22
the pleadings, the court finds that the factual allegations plausibly suggest that LeGrande may
23
have been motivated by retaliatory intent.
24
25
As discussed, Plaintiffs‟ well-pleaded factual allegations plausibly support their claims for
retaliatory conduct in violation of the First Amendment. Accordingly, Defendants‟ Motion to
26
27
28
The Complaint does not actually indicate when Celaya made the alleged statement,
though Plaintiffs implicitly concede that it was made after Plaintiffs were transported to the
county jail. See Opp‟n, ECF No. 19 at 13.
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
8
5
1
Dismiss is DENIED as to Defendants Mitchell Celaya and Harry Legrande, in their individual

capacities.
3
4
B. Plaintiffs’ Official Capacity Claims
Plaintiffs‟ official capacity claims seek to enjoin Celaya, LeGrande, and Birgeneau from
5
transporting nonviolent protestors to jail for processing instead of citing and releasing them.
6
Compl., ECF No. 14 at 12, ¶ 59. Official capacity suits are “another way of pleading an action
7
against an entity of which an officer is an agent.” Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159, 165 (1985)
8
(quoting Monell v. New York City Dep’t of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 690, n. 55 (1978) (quotation
9
marks omitted)). Because a suit against an official in his or her official capacity is a suit against
Northern District of California
the state, a practice, policy, or procedure of the state must be at issue in a claim for official
11
United States District Court
10
capacity injunctive relief. Hafer v. Melo, 502 U.S. 21, 25 (1991).
12
In order to survive a motion to dismiss, the plaintiff must allege a specific policy, custom,
13
or habit that led to the constitutional deprivation at issue. See Hydrick v. Hunter, 669 F.3d 937,
14
942 (9th Cir. 2012). Plaintiffs claim that Defendants are University “policy makers responsible
15
for establishing final policy with respect to the subject matter in question.” Opp‟n, ECF No. 19 at
16
12 (quoting Pembaur v. City of Cincinnati, 475 U.S. 469, 483 (1986) (quotation marks omitted)).
17
By alleging that Defendants caused the constitutional violations at issue, Plaintiffs claim they
18
have sufficiently alleged University policy for Monell purposes. In their Reply, Defendants do
19
not challenge Plaintiffs‟ assertion that they are policy makers. Instead, Defendants concede that
20
Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged the threshold requirements for their official capacity claims.
21
See Reply, ECF No. 20, at n. 2.
22
As previously discussed, Plaintiffs have stated plausible First Amendment claims against
23
Celaya and LeGrande. Because Plaintiffs sufficiently allege Monell liability, Defendants‟ Motion
24
to Dismiss Plaintiffs‟ First Amendment claims against Celaya and LeGrande in their official
25
capacities is DENIED.
26
Plaintiffs‟ second claim for relief fails as to Chancellor Birgeneau, however. Unlike the
27
allegations against Celaya and LeGrande, the allegations against Birgeneau are entirely
28
conclusory. See Compl., ECF No. 14 at 10, ¶ 50 (stating, without factual support, that Birgeneau
Case No. 11-CV-4971 LB
ORDER
9
1
agreed with the decision to send Plaintiffs to Alameda County Jail). Plaintiffs provide no factual
2
content to support these allegations. Accordingly, Defendants‟ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs‟ First
3
Amendment claim against Chancellor Birgeneau in his official capacity is GRANTED. Since
4
leave to amend shall be freely given, however, the court grants Defendants‟ Motion to Dismiss
5
with leave to amend. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a).
C. Defendants’ “Alternative Explanations” Argument
6
Defendants suggest an additional rationale for dismissing Plaintiffs‟ First Amendment
7
“obvious alternative explanation” mandates dismissal. See Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 14;
10
Reply, ECF No. 20 at 5. Specifically, Defendants speculate that UCBPD might have transferred
11
Northern District of California
claims. They argue there are “obvious alternative explanations” for the facts alleged and that an
9
United States District Court
8
Plaintiffs to Alameda County Jail because they had difficulty processing so many arrestees at the
12
same time. Mem. of P. & A., ECF No. 18 at 14. According to Defendants, “where there is a
13
choice between an „obvious alternative explanation‟ for the challenged conduct on the one hand,
14
and the purposeful, invidious retaliation alleged by Plaintiffs on the other, retaliation is not a
15
plausible conclusion.” Reply, ECF No. 20 at 5 (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 682). Plaintiffs
16
respond by attacking Defendants‟ alternative explanation. See Opp‟n, ECF No. 19 at 10.
17
Defendants‟ argument fails because it is based on a misinterpretation of the pleading
18
standard. Contrary to Defendants‟ assertions, Iqbal did not hold that any obvious alternative
19
explanation was sufficient to defeat a complaint. Rather, the Court examined the extraordinarily
20
persuasive alternative explanation before it and “concluded that this alternative explanation was
21
so likely to be true that, as between the two explanations, Iqbal‟s explanation was not plausible.”
22
Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1214 (9th Cir. 2011). In contrast, Defendants‟ interpretation of the
23
facts alleged does not render Plaintiffs‟ explanation implausible. Where, as here, “there are two
24
alternative explanations, one advanced by defendant and the other advanced by plaintiff, both of
25
which are plausible, plaintiff‟s complaint survives a motion to dismiss under rule 12(b)(6).” Id. at
26
1216.
