Danny Jay ROMERO, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. VARGO; et al., Defendants-Appellees, 471 F. App'x 584

MEMORANDUM Danny Jay Romero, an Oregon state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm. The district court properly granted

summary judgment because Romero did not raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent in treating his foot pain. See id. at 1057-58 (prison officials act with deliberate indifference only if they know of and disregard an excessive risk to a prisoner’s health; a difference of opinion about the best course of medical treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference). Romero’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
