WAGNER, Dr., MEMORANDUM*
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Lawrence J. O’Neill, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted July 22, 2014**
Before: GOODWIN, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
California state prisoner Bobby Windell Lee 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 Lee failed to
raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant Wagner was
deliberately indifferent to Lee’s need for anti-depressant medication. See Farmer
v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834 (1994) (prison officials act with deliberate
indifference only if they know of and disregard an excessive risk to inmate health).
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
