MEMORANDUM **

Kenneth Talhelm, who is civilly committed pursuant to California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that employees of Atascadero State Hospital violated his constitutional *202 rights when they failed to prevent another patient from attacking him.

C. f. Neely v. Feinstein, 50 F.3d 1502, 1508 (9th Cir.1995) (holding that mental hospital officials are liable only if they exhibit “conscious indifference amounting to gross negligence.”) (internal citation omitted).
