Francisco Villasenor v. L. Zamora

MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Francisco Vil-lasenor appeals pro se from the district court’s-judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.

The district court properly dismissed Villasenor’s action because Villasenor failed to allege facts sufficient to show that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs by denying him certain medical devices. See Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1057 (9th Cir.2004) (requirements of a medical deliberate indifference claim); see also Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir.2010) (although pro se pleadings are liberally construed, a plaintiff must allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim). '

The district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Villasenor leave to amend his complaint…
