Heading: Indian River County

Text: 20 No record evidence suggests that the Commissioners of Indian River County knew of, or took any action in connection with, Ziegler's arrest. Nor is there evidence that Sheriff Dobeck and Sergeant Gibbons acted pursuant to any county policy, custom, or ordinance. 2 See Hammond v. County of Madera, 859 F.2d 797, 801 (9th Cir.1988) (county not liable for acts of county officials unless the officials' conduct was the consequence of county policy or custom). Ziegler has not met his burden of demonstrating that Indian River County purposefully availed itself of California law. Farmers Ins. Exchange, 907 F.2d at 912. The district court properly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over Indian River County.
