MEMORANDUM

**

Anthony Dean Jackson, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for the police department in Jackson’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that, during a six-hour detainment, officers failed to provide medical treatment for a wound on Jackson’s little finger. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Jesinger v. Nevada Fed. Credit Union, 24 F.3d 1127, 1130 (9th Cir.1994), and we affirm.

Because Jackson failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether police officers were deliberately indifferent to a serious medical need, the district court properly granted summary judgment for police. See McGuckin v. Smith, 974 F.2d 1050, 1059-60 (9th Cir.1992) (serious medical need), overruled, on other grounds, WMX Techns., Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133 (9th Cir.1997) (en banc); Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335 (9th Cir. 1990) (deliberate indifference); see also Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1128 (9th Cir.1998) (applying Eighth Amendment standards to pretrial detainee’s claim of deliberate indifference under Fourteenth Amendment).

AFFIRMED.
