MEMORANDUM*
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFFS
DEPARTMENT,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
S. James Otero, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 25, 2016**
Before: LEAVY, SILVERMAN, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Robert Thomson appeals from the district court’s summary judgment in his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging a violation of his Second Amendment rights.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Peruta v.
County of San Diego, 824 F.3d 919, 925 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc), and we affirm.
In Peruta v. San Diego, this court held that a member of the general public
does not have a right under the Second Amendment to carry a concealed firearm in
public, and that a state may impose restrictions, including a showing of good cause,
on concealed carry. Id at 939. The San Diego and Yolo County Sheriff’s
Department policies interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement at
issue in Peruta therefore survived a Second Amendment challenge. See id. For
the same reasons the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s policies
interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement do not violate the
Second Amendment.
AFFIRMED.
