Crespo v. Martin
Crespo v. Martin
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Miguel Crespo, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment in favor of the defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s summary judgment, Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1128 (9th Cir. 1998), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Crespo’s claim concem
The district court correctly concluded that Crespo’s contention that prison medical staff failed to provide him proper treatment is insufficient to establish deliberate indifference. See Jackson v. McIntosh, 90 F.3d 330, 332 (9th Cir. 1996) (holding that a difference of medical opinion was insufficient as a matter of law to establish deliberate indifference).
Crespo’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
