David ARENBERG, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Jen FONTAINE; Arshad Tariq, Dr., Defendants-Appellees, 689 F. App'x 869

MEMORANDUM Former Arizona state prisoner David Arenberg appeals pro se from the district court’s

summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his 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 for defendant Tariq because Arenberg failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Tar-iq was deliberately indifferent to Aren-berg’s rashes. See id. at 1057-60 (deliberate indifference is a high legal standard; medical malpractice, negligence, or a difference of opinion concerning the course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference). To the extent Arenberg contends that he alleged a separate First Amendment retaliation claim, we reject this contention as unsupported by the record. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
