Andrew Calvin COLEY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CASIM, Doctor, Lancaster State Prison; Traquina, Doctor, Solano State Prison, Defendants-Appellees, 473 F. App'x 692

MEMORANDUM California state prisoner Andrew Calvin Coley 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), and may affirm on any ground supported by the record, Johnson v. Riverside Healthcare Sys., LP, 534 F.3d 1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm. The district court properly granted

summary judgment because Coley failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants consciously disregarded a risk to Coley’s health by failing to provide an adequate diet for his colitis or delaying diagnostic tests that ruled out a more serious illness. See Toguchi, 391 F.3d at 1058 (prison officials are deliberately indifferent only if they know of and disregard an excessive risk of serious harm to inmate health). Coley’s disagreement with defendants’ medical opinion as to his diagnosis or course of treatment is not sufficient to constitute deliberate indifference. See id.

The district court’s failure to rule on Coley’s motions to compel further discovery to oppose one of the defendant’s motion for

summary judgment is not grounds for reversal because Coley failed to show how additional discovery would have precluded

summary judgment. See Chance v. Pac-Tel Teletrac Inc., 242 F.3d 1151, 1161 n. 6 (9th Cir.2001) (to obtain discovery pending

summary judgment, movant must have diligently pursued discovery and show how additional discovery would preclude

summary judgment); Margolis v. Ryan, 140 F.3d 850, 853 (9th Cir. 1998) (motion to compel discovery to oppose

summary judgment on which the district court failed to rule is reviewed de novo). Coley’s remaining contentions, including those concerning alleged due process violations, are unpersuasive. Coley’s requests for miscellaneous relief, including concerning access to the law library, are denied. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
