Calvin Rouse v. Ron Van Boening
Calvin Rouse v. Ron Van Boening
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Washington state prisoner Calvin Rouse, a.k.a. Abdur Rashid Khalif, appeals pro se *814 from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various constitutional violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Ramirez v. City of Buena Park, 560 F.3d 1012, 1019 (9th Cir. 2009), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because plaintiff failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to any of his claims. See Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587, 106 S.Ct. 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986); see also Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 349-51, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996) (access to court); Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 484, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995) (due process); Shakur v. Schriro, 514 F.3d 878, 884, 888 (9th Cir. 2008) (free exercise and RLUIPA); Pratt v. Rowland, 65 F.3d 802, 807 (9th Cir. 1995) (retaliation).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by granting defendants’ motion to quash defendant Van Boening’s deposition. See Laub v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, 342 F.3d 1080, 1093 (9th Cir. 2003) (“A district court is vested with broad discretion to permit or deny discovery....”).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to continue defendants’ summary judgment motion until plaintiff could conduct additional discovery because plaintiff failed to identify the specific facts that additional discovery would have revealed or how those facts would have been essential to defeat the summary judgment motion. See California ex rel. Cal. Dep’t of Toxic Substances Control v. Campbell, 138 F.3d 772, 779-80 (9th Cir. 1998) (reviewing for an abuse of discretion and setting forth relevant factors).
Plaintiffs remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provid *814 ed by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
