Albanez v. Winslow

202 F. App'x 216

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

California state prisoner Henry Albanez appeals pro se from the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action alleging defendants acted with deliberate indifference to his medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s grant of summary judgment, Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of defendants, because the evidence does not create a material issue of fact as to whether the treatment of fungus on Albanez’s fingernails and toenails was medically unacceptable under the circumstances or chosen in conscious disregard of an excessive risk to Albanez’s health. See id. at 1058.

AFFIRMED.
