PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs-Appellants Denise Navarro and other relatives of decedent Maria Navarro (collectively “the Navarros”) appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Los Angeles County and the Sheriff of Los Angeles County. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Navarros sued the County for its allegedly discriminatory policy and custom of according lower priority to 911 calls related to domestic violence than to non-domestic violence calls. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm in part, and reverse and remand in part.
