E.D.Cal.: Ptf doesn’t sufficiently allege access to private medical information violated 4A

“Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Oakden and Reynolds’s ‘unlawful access to private medical information’ violated Plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment rights. FAC at 4. Plaintiff’s vague and conclusory allegations are insufficient to establish a violation of the Fourth Amendment. See Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678; Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570; Jones v. Community Redev. Agency, 733 F.2d 646, 649 (9th Cir. 1984) (‘The plaintiff must allege with at least some degree of particularity overt acts which defendants engaged in that support the plaintiff’s claim.’). Further, Plaintiff ‘has not shown that [her] right to the privacy of [her] medical information … is protected by the Fourth Amendment.’ Harris v. Combs, 2024 WL 324513, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 29, 2024), appeal dismissed, 2025 WL 2171135 (9th Cir. Mar. 26, 2025). Therefore, the FAC fails to state a claim for a Fourth Amendment violation.” Hendrix v. Cal. Dep’t of Tax & Fee Admin., 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 222267 (E.D. Cal. Sep. 28, 2026).
