Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Frankie Karen Washington, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment and judgment, following a jury trial in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment. Morrison v. Hall, 261 F.3d 896, 900 (9th Cir.2001). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant Wren because Washington failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Wren had reason to know that a constitutional violation was being committed and was physically capable of preventing the alleged violation. See Ting v. U.S., 927 F.2d 1504, 1511-12 (9th Cir.1991); see also Soremekun v. Thrifty Payless, Inc., 509 F.3d 978, 984 (9th Cir.2007) ("Conclusory, speculative testimony in affidavits and moving papers is insufficient to raise genuine issues of fact and defeat summary judgment.").
The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant City of Los Angeles because Washington failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the Los Angeles Police Department's use-of-force policy was the moving force behind the police officer's alleged use of excessive force. See Monell v. Dep't of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 694-95, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978) (local government may be liable under § 1983 when official policy is "the moving force of the constitutional violation").
We do not consider Washington's claims of error at trial, or that Officer Washington lacked probable cause to stop her or used excessive force against her, because Washington did not include a trial transcript in the record on appeal as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(b)(2), or explain her failure to do so. See 9th Cir. R. 10-3.1(d) & (e); Syncom Capital Corp. v. Wade, 924 F.2d 167, 169 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam) (dismissing appeal of pro se appellant for failure to provide a trial transcript).
Washington's remaining contentions, including those concerning her Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, are unpersuasive. See Johnson v. Neilson (In re Slatkin), 525 F.3d 805, 811 (9th Cir.2008) ("[A] summary judgment proceeding does not deprive the losing party of its Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.").
Washington's "Motion for Leave to File Evidence of Incompetence to Stand Trial Outside of the Record" is denied.
AFFIRMED.
