First, appellants argue that appellees’ Monell claim
against the county should have been tried separately from
their claims against the individual defendants. The district
court acted within its “broad discretion” in declining to
bifurcate the Monell claim. Hangarter v. Provident Life &
Acc. Ins. Co., 373 F.3d 998, 1021 (9th Cir. 2004) (citation
omitted). Though some of the evidence relevant to the
Monell claims was irrelevant to individual liability, the
district court’s many limiting instructions cured any possible
prejudice. See Velazquez, 793 F.3d at 1028.
