The following excerpt is from Arkens v. Cnty. of Sutter, CIV. NO. 2:16-951 WBS KJN (E.D. Cal. 2016):
As an initial matter, plaintiff still has not cited a federal law that defendants allegedly violated by retaliating against him. Accordingly, for the reasons previously discussed, the court must dismiss plaintiff's federal retaliation claim. See Salazar v. County of Orange, 564 F. App'x 322, 322 (9th Cir. 2014) ("A complaint should fully set[] forth who is being sued, for what relief, and on what theory . . . ." (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)).
