MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Howard v. Cnty. of Tulare, Case No. 1:16-cv-00076-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2016):

criminal liability for deprivations of civil rights, but does not give rise to civil liability. See Parra v. Hernandez, 2009 WL 3818376, at *8 (S.D. Cal. Nov. 13, 2009) (citing Allen v. Gold Country Casino, 464 F.3d 1044, 1048 (9th Cir. 2006). Therefore, these statutes and regulations cited by Plaintiff do not provide for a statutory duty.
