Can a plaintiff bring a claim for damages arising out of the theft of a laptop by a third party?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Atlas v. Fox, No. 2:17-cv-0286 MCE AC P (E.D. Cal. 2019):
To the extent that plaintiff intends to argue that it was defendants' carelessness or negligence as state actors that led to the laptop theft which, in turn, led to plaintiff's harm by an unrelated third party, this claim is not actionable, either. "It is well established that negligent conduct is ordinarily not enough to state a claim alleging a denial of liberty or property under the Fourteenth Amendment." See Doe v. Beard, 2014 WL 3507196, *6 (C.D. Cal. July 14, 2014),
