Submitted December 17, 2025**

Before: PAEZ, CHRISTEN, and KOH, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Ronald F. Martinez appeals pro se from the district

court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging Eighth

Amendment violations arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28

U.S.C. § 1915A. Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012). We

affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Martinez’s action because Martinez

failed to allege facts sufficient to show deliberate indifference to an excessive risk

of harm to Martinez. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994) (holding

that to establish Eighth Amendment liability, a plaintiff must show that the

defendant knew of and disregarded a substantial risk of serious harm to an inmate’s

health and safety); Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010)

(explaining that although pro se pleadings are to be construed liberally, a plaintiff

must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief).

** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

2 24-5381 Dismissal of Martinez’s state law claims was proper because Martinez failed

to state a federal claim. See Dyack v. Northern Mariana Islands, 317 F.3d 1030, 1037-38 (9th Cir. 2003) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that 28

U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3) permits the district court to decline to exercise supplemental

jurisdiction over state law claims where the district court “has dismissed all claims

over which it has original jurisdiction”).

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
