Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Plaintiff Alicia Unger brought this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of her First and Fourth Amend ment rights during an incident that occurred after a press conference on August 3, 2007. She appeals the district court's decision granting summary judgment in favor of defendants Sergeant Kevin McCloskey, Port Police Chief Ronald Boyd, and the City of Los Angeles on her First Amendment claims. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Because Unger has not presented any evidence from which a reasonable fact-finder could infer that McCloskey acted with the intent to chill her speech, she has not created a genuine issue of material fact as to whether his conduct violated her rights under the First Amendment. See Mendocino Envtl. Ctr. v. Mendocino County, 192 F.3d 1283, 1300-01 (9th Cir.1999). Because Unger has not created a genuine issue of material fact as to the existence of a constitutional violation, her supervisory and municipal liability claims also fail. See Monell v. Dep't of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 690-91, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978); Hansen v. Black, 885 F.2d 642, 646 (9th Cir.1989). Accordingly, we affirm the grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
AFFIRMED.
