MEMORANDUM **

Lannie Stephen Cox, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

With respect to defendant Pima County Jail, the district court properly granted summary judgment because Cox failed to present evidence of a policy or custom which caused his alleged injuries. See Board of County Comm’rs v. Brown, 520 U.S. 397, 403-04 , 117 S.Ct. 1382 , 137 L.Ed.2d 626 (1997).
