The following excerpt is from Dibenedetto v. Diaz, CASE NO. 1:17-cv-01605-DAD-MJS (E.D. Cal. 2018):
Plaintiff complains that he was verbally harassed. Mere threats or verbal harassment do not constitute a constitutional violation. See Oltarzewski v. Ruggiero, 830 F.2d 136, 139 (9th Cir.1987) (verbal harassment by public officer was not a constitutional violation).
This claim is not cognizable now or through amendment.
