1004, 1007 (9th Cir. 2001) (dismissal on the basis of absolute immunity). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Britton’s claims against defendants Patridge and Vaughan because Patridg e and Vaughn are entitled to prosecutorial immunit y. See Cousins v. Lockyer , 568 F.3d 1063, 1068 (9th Cir. 2009) (setting forth the scope of prosecutorial immunity). The district court properly granted summary judgment on Britton’s Fourth Amendment clai m because the claim is time

- barred. See Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110(1) (providing a two

- year statute of limitations for personal injury actions); Douglas v. Noelle , 567 F.3d 1103, 1009 (9th Cir. 2009) (explaining that the stat ute of limitations for a § 1983 c laim is the state law statute of limitations for personal injury cases ). The district court properly granted summary judgment on Britton’s false arrest and malicious prosecutions claims because Britton failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether there was no probable cause for his arrest

. See Yousefian v. City of Glendale , 779 F.3d 1010, 1014, n.1 (9th Cir. 2015) (the absence of probable cause is an essential element of a § 1983 false arrest claim) ; Awabdy v. City of Adelanto , 368 F.3 d 1062, 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 2004) (a malicious prosecution claim requires the absence of probable cause; a grand jury indictment constitutes prima facie evidence of probable cause ). The district court properly granted summary judgment on Britton’s3 19

- 35782

Fou rteenth Amendment claim based on his pre

- trial detention because Britton failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether his confinement put him at a substantial risk of suffering serious harm. See Castro v. v. County of Los Angeles , 833 F.3d 1060, 1071 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc) (a pre

- trial detainee bringing a Fourteenth Amendment conditions of confinement claim must demo nstrate that the conditions “put the plaintiff at substantial risk of suffering serious harm”). The district court properly granted summary judgment on Britton’s supervisory liability claims against defendants Rowley, Davidson, and Skrah because Britton failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether these defendants were personally involved in any constitutional violations, or engaged in any wrongful act s causally connected to any constitutional violations.
See Starr v. Baca , 652 F.3d 1202, 1207

- 08 (9th Cir. 2011) (explaining that a defendant may only be held liable as a supervisor under § 1983 where the defendant was personally involved in the constitutional violation, or where the defendant’s wrongful acts are causally connected to th e violation). The district court properly granted summary judgment on Britton ’s municipal liability claim because B ritton failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the county maintained a custom or policy that inflicted any constit

utional injury

. See Rodriguez v. County of Los Angeles , 891 F.3d 776,4 19

- 35782

802

- 03 (9th Cir. 2018) (requirements for municipal liability under § 1983)

. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying B ritton’ s motions for appointment of counsel be cause B ritton failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances. See Cano v. Taylor , 739 F.3d 1214, 1218 (9th Cir. 2014) (standard of review and requirements for appointment of counsel). We reject as without merit Britton’s contentions that the magistrate judge engaged in misconduct. We do not consider arguments or allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
