13 defendants allege that plaintiff did not use the heightened pleading standards as required by City 14 of Canton v.

17 complaint, defendants allege that they are immune from liability for the arrest, detention and 18 restraint of plaintiff pursuant to the provisions of California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 19 5154, Government Code Section 856, and Penal Code Sections 835, 835a, 836, and 847, in that 20 the officers had reasonable suspicion/probable cause to believe that plaintiff had committed a 21 public offense/was a danger to others, or to himself, or gravely disabled, and that any and all force 22 used in effecting his arrest, detention and restraint, was lawful, reasonable, and necessary, under 23 the circumstances at the time of the incident. 24 AS A FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE to each cause of action of plaintiff's complaint ,

AS A SIXTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE to each cause of action of plaintiff's complaint ,

2 defendants allege that they are entitled to qualified and official immunity. Defendants acted at all 3 times in good faith, with due care, within the scope of discretion, and pursuant to laws, 4 regulations, rules, and practices reasonably believed to be in accordance with the Constitution and 5 laws of the United States. There is no liability pursuant to the Federal Civil Rights Act where one 6 acts in good faith and entertains an honest, reasonable belief that one's actions are in accord with 7 clearly established law.[Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982) ; Saucier v. Katz, 533 8 U.S. 194 (2001); Smith v. Hemet, 394 F.3d 689 (9th Cir. 2005).] 9 AS A SEVENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE to each cause of action of plaintiff's

10 complaint, defendants allege that plaintiff was comparatively at fault in the manner and style as 11 set forth in Li v.

15 complaint, defendants allege that the damages sustained by plaintiff, if any, were proximately 16 caused, in whole or in part by others for whom these answering defendants are neither liable or 17 responsible. Should defendants be found to be liable to plaintiff, which liability is expressly 18 denied, said defendants are entitled to have any award against them abated, reduced, or eliminated 19 to the extent that the negligence, carelessness, or fault of any of said other persons or entities 20 contributed to plaintiff's damages, if any there were. 21 AS A NINTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE to each cause of action of plaintiff's complaint,

22 defendants allege that plaintiff's complaint exceeds the scope of the claim presented to defendant 23 City of Hayward pursuant to California Government Code §§910 and 911.2. 24 AS A TENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE to each cause of action of plaintiff's

25 complaint, defendants allege that plaintiffs' complaint fails to state a cause of action against these 26 defendants under the holding in Monell v. Department of Social Services of the City of New York 27 436 U.S. 658 (1978), and its progeny.
