Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Loren Christopher Tarabochia appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that defendants violated his Fourth Amendment rights by detaining him without reasonable suspicion to believe that he was engaged in criminal activity. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Dietrich v. John Ascuaga's Nugget, 548 F.3d 892, 896 (9th Cir.2008), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Tarabochia failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants had reasonable suspicion to believe that he was in violation of the conditions of his probation. See Ramirez v. City of Buena Park, 560 F.3d 1012, 1020 (9th Cir.2009) (reasonable suspicion requires "considerably less than proof of wrongdoing by a preponderance of the evidence," and an officer need only "be able to articulate facts creating grounds to suspect that criminal activity may be afoot" (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); see also State v. Hiner, 240 Or.App. 175, 246 P.3d 35, 37-38 (2010) ("The authority to arrest a probationer for violation of a probation condition implies the authority to stop persons reasonably suspected of violating that probation condition").
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Tarabochia's motion for a continuance of summary judgment to conduct further discovery because Tara-bochia did not show that additional discov ery would have precluded summary judgment. See Tatum v. City & County of San Francisco, 441 F.3d 1090, 1100 (9th Cir.2006) (setting forth standard of review and continuance requirements).
We reject Taraboehia's contentions regarding defendants' alleged attempts to assassinate his character. See City of Long Beach v. Standard Oil Co., 46 F.3d 929, 936 (1995) (recognizing that reversal for evidentiary errors "will not be granted unless prejudice is shown").
AFFIRMED.
