MEMORANDUM **

Federal prisoner Garry David Gallardo appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”) action alleging negligence related to a slip and fall accident in a federal prison in Kentucky. 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 Gallardo failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether his alleged fall exacerbated his knee condition or caused him injury, and he did not provide any evidence as to causation. See Readnour v. Gibson, 452 S.W.3d 617, 620 (Ky.App. 2014) (setting forth elements of common-law negligence claim, including “legal causation between the defendant’s breach and the plaintiffs injury”); see also United States v. Olson, 546 U.S. 43, 45-46, 126 S.Ct. 510, 163 L.Ed.2d 306 (2005) (holding that the United States’ liability under the FTCA is to be based on the state law liability of a private party). Contrary to Gallardo’s con *727 tention, the district court did not err in failing to construe his opposition to the United States’ summary judgment motion as a motion for further discovery under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d) because Gallardo did not request any discovery.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in striking Gallardo’s “Motion for Court to Exercise Supplemental Jurisdiction” because this FTCA action is not the proper vehicle for Gallardo to challenge the validity of his underlying criminal conviction. See Ready Transp., Inc. v. AAR Mfg., Inc., 627 F.3d 402, 403-04 (9th Cir. 2010) (applying abuse of discretion standard when reviewing district court’s exercise of inherent power to control docket and strike motion).

Gallardo’s request for judicial notice, filed on October 7,2016, is denied.

AFFIRMED.
