   MEMORANDUM

Lolita Newt (“Newt”) appeals the dismissal of her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 judicial deception claim against a confidential informant (“Doe 1”), the City and County of San Francisco, and San Francisco Police Officer Jon Kasper (“Officer Kasper”). She alleges that the warrant obtained to search her residence was based on untrue information from confidential police informants and that Officer Kasper, who filed the affidavit, violated her constitutional rights by conveying knowingly false information to the issuing judge.

A cognizable judicial deception claim under § 1983 requires Newt to show that the officer “made deliberately false statements or recklessly disregarded the truth in the affidavit and that the falsifications were material to the finding of probable cause.” Galbraith v. County of Santa Clara, 307 F.3d 1119, 1126 (9th Cir.2002) (internal quotation marks omitted). An affidavit containing “deliberate or reckless omissions of facts that tend to mislead[,]” recklessly disregards the truth. United States v. Stanert, 762 F.2d 775, 781 (9th Cir.1985) (emphasis added).

Even though Newt has alleged that Officer Kasper “showed reckless disregard for the truth,” we need not accept this conclusory allegation as true as it is unsupported by the facts alleged in the complaint. See Sprewell v. Golden State Warriors, 266 F.3d 979 (9th Cir.2001) (holding that for purposes of 12(b)(6) motion, facts pled must be accepted as true, but eonclusory allegations need not be). Factually, the complaint merely alleges that the informant’s information was false and that Officer Kasper failed to investigate Newt or include any information tending to show why evidence of a drug operation would not be found at her house. This does not rise to the level of “reckless disregard for the truth” necessary to state a cognizable claim for judicial deception.

AFFIRMED.
