Case Explained: ROGERS V. COOPER, ET AL.

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Filed: 2026-07-30 Docket: 2:22-cv-01157-TLN-JDP The ninth-circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Kim Edward Rogers’s pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging California’s sex offender registration requirements. Applying de novo review, the court held that the complaint failed to state a plausible claim for relief because it lacked sufficient factual matter, as required by the standard established in *Ashcroft v. Iqbal*. The court declined to consider arguments not specifically raised in the opening brief and denied all pending motions. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service.
