Jamel Walker v. Jason Roher

MEMORANDUM

Jamel Walker, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Walker’s Eighth Amendment claim because Walker failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Roher’s treatment of his hip injury constituted deliberate indifference. See id. at 1058 (a prison official acts with deliberate indifference only if he knows of and disregards an excessive risk to inmate health, and a difference of opinion concerning the appropriate course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference).

Walker’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
