MARICOPA COUNTY JAIL; et al.,
Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Steven Paul Logan, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 12, 2021**
Before:      TALLMAN, RAWLINSON, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges.
Arizona state prisoner Robert Lee Stewart, Jr. appeals pro se from the
district court’s judgment dismissing his
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     action alleging
inadequate medical care and conditions-of-confinement claims arising from his
pretrial detention. We have jurisdiction under
    28 U.S.C. § 1291

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
novo the district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Resnick v. Hayes,
    213 F.3d 443
    , 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Stewart’s action because Stewart failed
to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See Gordon v. County of
Orange,
    888 F.3d 1118
    , 1122, 1125 (9th Cir. 2018) (setting forth objective
deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical
care and conditions-of-confinement claims brought by pretrial detainees); Castro v.
County of Los Angeles,
    833 F.3d 1060
    , 1073-76 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc)
(discussing requirements to establish municipal liability under Monell v.
Department of Social Services,
    436 U.S. 658
     (1978)); Hebbe v. Pliler,
    627 F.3d 338
    , 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are liberally construed, a
plaintiff must allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim).
Stewart’s motion for a response from the court (Docket Entry No. 11) is
denied.
AFFIRMED.
