MEMORANDUM **

Terry Lee Papenfus, an Oregon state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging inadequate medical treatment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Reviewing de novo, see Morrison v. Hall, 261 F.3d 896, 900 (9th Cir. 2001), we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Papenfus failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent to his back condition. See Jackson v. McIntosh, 90 F.3d 330, 332 (9th Cir. 1996) (explaining that a difference in opinion regarding the appropriate course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference to medical needs).

Papenfus’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
