MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Wilson v. Campbell, Case No. 1:16-cv-00534-SKO (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2017):

To state such a claim, a plaintiff must allege facts that show supervisory defendants either personally participated in the alleged deprivation of constitutional rights; knew of the violations and failed to act to prevent them; or promulgated or "implemented a policy so deficient that the policy 'itself is a repudiation of constitutional rights' and is 'the moving force of the constitutional violation.'" Hansen v. Black, 885 F.2d 642, 646 (9th Cir. 1989) (internal citations omitted);
