No. 4:21-cv-00547-RCC Plaintiff - Appellant, v. MEMORANDUM* CENTURION OF ARIZONA, LLC; UNKNOWN PARTY, named as Pima County Jail Medical Director Liaison; KEITH WILLIAMS, Dr., M.D., Centurion; KAREN SMITH, RN/LPN, Centurion, Defendants - Appellees.

Dwoine Antonio Harris appeals pro se from the district court’s summary

* 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). 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. Desire, LLC v. Manna Textiles, Inc., 986 F.3d 1253, 1259 (9th Cir. 2021). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment for Centurion because Harris failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether medical providers were deliberately indifferent in responding to his medical needs. See Gordon v. County of Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1124-25 (9th Cir. 2018) (setting forth objective deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care claims brought by pretrial detainees); see also Lockett v. County of Los Angeles, 977 F.3d 737, 741 (9th Cir. 2020) (explaining that a claim against an entity under Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978), requires a plaintiff to show an underlying constitutional violation).

Harris’s motion for review (Docket Entry No. 8) is denied.

AFFIRMED.
