MEMOANDUM*

¶2

Stephen Prince Robins appeals the district court's summary judgment in favor of three FBI special agents in Robins' action alleging that the agents violated his Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth Amendment rights.1 Robins alleged that he was unlawfully arrested and detained for fifty days on charges that he had violated 18 U.S.C. § 115(a)(1)(B). We affirm the dismissal of the constitutional claims against the three special agents for the reasons set forth in the district court's order granting summary judgment filed September 27, 1996.2

¶3

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4

*

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3

1

The Complaint asserted jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985. However, because the defendants are all federal officers, jurisdiction over the constitutional claims is pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)

2

Robins does not challenge on appeal either the summary judgment in favor of Special Assistant United States Attorney Kelly Schwass or the dismissal of the common-law claims against the United States
