WILLIAM A. FLETCHER, Circuit Judge.
In this § 1983 suit, Thomas Anderson appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment to individual defendant Charles Warner, as well as defendants Mendocino County Sheriffs Office and County of Mendocino (collectively “the County”). Anderson contends that Warner assaulted him while acting under color of state law. Anderson also contends that the County negligently hired and supervised Warner, and conducted an inadequate investigation into the assault by Warner. We reverse as to Warner and affirm as to the County.
