   MEMORANDUM

Plaintiffs-Appellants Richard Sung Hong Wong and Mari Stone Wong appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees on Plaintiffs-Appellants’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims. We affirm the district court’s decision on the basis that Plaintiffs-Appellants failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact surrounding the asserted violations of the federal constitution. Broad, conclusory allegations are not sufficient to withstand a summary judgment challenge. See Hernandez v. Spacelabs Med. Inc., 343 F.3d 1107, 1116 (9th Cir.2003); see also Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of Med., No. 02-35796, 363 F.3d 916, 928-29 (9th Cir.2004) (upholding summary judgment where § 1983 plaintiff failed to establish the existence of an underlying constitutional violation).

AFFIRMED.
