Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Oregon
Michael J. McShane, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted July 18, 2023**
Before: SCHROEDER, RAWLINSON, and BADE, Circuit Judges.
Oregon state prisoner Andrew Guy Moret appeals pro se from the district
court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
claims arising from his pre-trial detention at Washington County Jail. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Guatay Christian
Fellowship v. County of San Diego, 670 F.3d 957, 970 (9th Cir. 2011) (cross-
motions for summary judgment); May v. Baldwin, 109 F.3d 557, 561 (9th Cir.
1997) (district court’s decision on qualified immunity). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Moret’s claim
regarding temporary deprivation of clothing and bedding because Moret failed to
raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the confiscation of these
items was not reasonably related to a legitimate governmental interest. See Bell v.
Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 539 (1979) (for the purpose of due process, “if a particular
condition or restriction of pretrial detention is reasonably related to a legitimate
governmental objective, it does not, without more, amount to ‘punishment’”).
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Moret’s claim
regarding deprivation of a mattress and blanket because he failed to allege facts or
provide evidence that Officer Millsap was involved in this decision. See Taylor v.
List, 880 F.2d 1040, 1045 (9th Cir. 1989) (“Liability under section 1983 arises only
upon a showing of personal participation by the defendant.”).
Contrary to Moret’s contentions, following remand from this court, the
district court properly limited this action to Moret’s claims concerning the
temporary deprivation of a mattress, blanket, and clothing. See Hall v. City of Los
2 21-35886
Angeles, 697 F.3d 1059, 1067 (9th Cir. 2012) (reviewing de novo the district
court’s compliance with an appellate court’s mandate, and finding that “a district
court is limited by [an appellate court’s] remand when the scope of the remand is
clear”); see also Pouncil v. Tilton, 704 F.3d 568, 578-579 (9th Cir. 2012)
(continuing violation doctrine does not apply if a claim is “based on an
independently wrongful, discrete act”).
We reject as meritless Moret’s contentions that Judge McShane, Magistrate
Judge Kasubhai, and the United States District Court for the District of Oregon
engaged in retaliation against Moret or are prejudiced against pro se litigants.
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
All pending motions and requests are denied.
AFFIRMED.
