MEMORANDUM **

Velvet Renard LeGrande III appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss based on the government’s failure to preserve evidence. Our review is de novo. See United States v. Cooper, 983 F.2d 928, 931 (9th Cir. 1993). We presume the parties’ familiarity with the facts and do not repeat them here except as necessary to explain our decision. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Even assuming the destroyed evidence in this case was potentially exculpatory, there was comparable evidence to support LeGrande’s contentions that he and the *601 victim were friends, that nothing unusual occurred outside the housing unit prior to the assault and that LeGrande was not visibly carrying a weapon at that time. See Cooper-, 983 F.2d at 931 (evidence destruction does not violate due process if the defendant can “obtain comparable evidence”) (quotation marks omitted). In particular, the victim testified that Le-Grande would have had no reason to assault him and Investigator Zaragoza testified that “nothing unusual ... happened” in the video footage that was destroyed.

Further, the video was overwritten in accordance with prison policy and Le-Grande presented no evidence that the footage was deliberately destroyed in order to further the government’s case. See United States v. Estrada, 453 F.3d 1208, 1212-13 (9th Cir. 2006) (no bad faith absent the government’s “malicious intent”); United States v. Barton, 995 F.2d 931, 936 (9th Cir. 1993) (no bad faith where nothing suggested officers deliberately destroyed evidence for tactical gain); United States v. Heffington, 952 F.2d 275, 281 (9th Cir. 1991) (holding that governmental compliance with “departmental procedure” supports finding that the government did not act in bad faith) (internal quotation marks omitted).

AFFIRMED.
