Heading: Claim Against the City of Portland

Text: 9 To state a claim against a municipal entity under section 1983, a plaintiff must allege that the constitutional violations are the result of an official policy or practice. Monnell v. Department of Social Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 694 (1978). Here, the Clarks failed to assert that the alleged procedural due process violation was the result of an official policy or practice. Accepting all their allegations of fact as true, however, we cannot say that it appears beyond doubt that the Clarks could prove no set of facts which would entitle them to relief. See Noll, 809 F.2d at 1448. Accordingly, because the Clarks are proceedings pro se, they should be given an opportunity to amend on this issue. See id. 10 VACATED and REMANDED.
