The following excerpt is from Akey v. Placer Cnty., No.: 2:14-cv-2402-KJM-KJN (E.D. Cal. 2015):
To impose liability against a county for its inaction when enforcement is called for, a plaintiff must show (1) that a county employee violated the plaintiff's constitutional rights; (2) that the county has customs or policies that amount to deliberate indifference; and (3) that these customs or policies were the moving force behind the employee's violation of plaintiff's constitutional rights. Long v. Cnty. of Los Angeles, 442 F.3d 1178, 1186 (9th Cir. 2006).
