NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUL 22 2020 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JEREMIAH JAMES PETLIG, No. 19-35672 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 2:18-cv-00721-MJP v. MEMORANDUM* C. HARRAWAY, Officer, Defendant-Appellee, and SCOTT CARTER-ELDRED; et al., Defendants.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Marsha J. Pechman, District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 14, 2020** Before: CANBY, FRIEDLAND, and R. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

Washington state prisoner Jeremiah James Petlig appeals pro se from the

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging inadequate medical care while he was a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Gordon v. County of Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1122 (9th Cir. 2018), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Petlig failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Harraway’s response to Petlig’s request for immediate medical attention was objectively unreasonable. See Gordon, 888 F.3d at 1124-25 (setting forth objective deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care claims brought by pretrial detainees).

AFFIRMED.
