MEMORANDUM **
There’s no evidence that covert videotaping of police locker rooms was a “longstanding practice or custom which constitutes the standard operating procedure” of Clark County. Menotti v. City of Seattle, 409 F.3d 1113, 1147 (9th Cir.2005) (internal quotation marks omitted). Nor have plaintiffs set forth any facts to show that Chief Broderick, “as a matter of state law,” had “final policymaking authority” over covert videotaping of the locker room. Id. And although Broderick consulted with Glenn Towbridge and Barbara King as to the installation of the camera, plaintiffs waived any argument that Towbridge or King had final policymaking authority over the Park Police as a matter of state law by not raising this issue before the district court. Plaintiffs have therefore not shown a material dispute of fact as to whether Clark County is liable for Broderick’s actions under Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 694, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978).
AFFIRMED.
