Walker

MEMORANDUM ***

Bruce P. Walker, formerly an inmate at the Montana State Prison, appeals pro se *926 the judgment after jury trial in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action challenging the conditions of his confinement in administrative segregation and alleging that prison medical staff were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review for abuse of discretion rulings at pre-trial conferences, Angle v. Sky Chef, Inc., 535 F.2d 492, 495 (9th Cir.1976), and evidentiary rulings, Tritchler v. County of Lake, 358 F.3d 1150, 1155 (9th Cir.2004). We review de novo rulings on motions for judgment as a matter of law. Hangarter v. Provident Life and Acc. Ins. Co., 373 F.3d 998, 1005 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm.
