Scott Kyger v. State of Oregon

MEMORANDUM

Scott William Kyger, a former Oregon 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 medical needs and other constitutional violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Johnson v. City of Seattle, 474 F.3d 634, 638 (9th Cir.2007), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Kyger failed to introduce evidence sufficient to establish a genuine dispute of material fact as to any of his claims, and many of his claims are time-barred. See Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 , 106 S.Ct. 1348 , 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986) (“Where the record taken as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no genuine issue for trial.”) (internal quotation marks omitted); Douglas v. Noelle, 567 F.3d 1103, 1109 (9th Cir.2009) (explaining that the statute of limitations for § 1983 actions is the state law statute of limitations for personal injury actions, and that Oregon’s statute of limitations for such actions is two years); see also Lewis v.
