Bryant Keith BROWN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Do WILLIAMS, M.D., Defendant-Appellee, 694 F. App'x 513

MEMORANDUM California state prisoner Bryant Keith Brown 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 because Brown failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant acted with deliberate indifference by denying Brown’s requests for alternative restraints. See id. at 1058-60 (a prison official is deliberately indifferent only if he or she knows of and disregards an excessive risk to an inmate’s health; medical malpractice, negligence, or a difference of opinion concerning the course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
