Mack v. Friedman
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUMN
Maurice Mack, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Mack failed to raise a triable issue as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent to his wrist injury. See id. at 1057 (“Mere negligence in diagnosing or treating a medical condition, without more, does not violate a prisoner’s Eighth Amendment rights.”) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
