Before: LEAVY, GOULD, and BERZON, Circuit Judges.
California state prisoner Alan R. Dohner appeals pro se from the district
court’s summary judgment in his action alleging federal and state law claims in
connection with his medical treatment while in federal custody. We review de

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
novo. Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004). We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We may affirm on any basis supported by the
record, Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc., 575 F.3d 1040, 1047 (9th Cir. 2009), and we
affirm.
Summary judgment was proper because Dohner failed to raise a genuine
dispute of material fact as to whether defendants acted with deliberate indifference
in addressing Dohner’s serious medical needs, and as to whether defendants
engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct. See Toguchi, 391 F.3d at 1057
(prison officials act with deliberate indifference only if they know of and disregard
an excessive risk to inmate health); LaBarge v. County of Mariposa, 798 F.2d 364,
366 (9th Cir. 1986) (Federal Tort Claims Act requires the courts “to analogize the
government to a private actor in a similar situation and apply state law to determine
amenability to suit.”); Hughes v. Pair, 209 P.3d 963, 976 (Cal. 2009) (elements of
an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim under California law).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Dohner’s second
request for an extension of time to oppose summary judgment because it had
previously granted Dohner a 45-day extension of time. See Ahanchian v. Xenon
Pictures, Inc., 624 F.3d 1253, 1258 (9th Cir. 2010) (setting forth the standard of
review and discussing the requirements for an extension of time under Fed. R. Civ.
2 12-55698
P. 6(b)); Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1088 (9th Cir. 2002)
(noting the district court’s “broad authority to impose reasonable time limits”).
Moreover, the district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to reconsider
its order. See C.D. Cal. R. 7-18 (grounds for reconsideration); Ahanchian, 624
F.3d at 1258 (reviewing for abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of a Fed.
R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion); Hinton v. Pac. Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395-96 (9th Cir.
1993) (reviewing application of local rules for abuse of discretion).
We affirm the award of costs to the federal defendants because Dohner
failed to file a motion for the district court to review the clerk-approved bill of
costs. See Walker v. California, 200 F.3d 624, 625-26 (9th Cir. 1999) (per curiam)
(a party waives the right to challenge a cost award if the party does not file a timely
motion for review of the award).
We reject Dohner’s contentions concerning the district court’s alleged
failure to protect his right to access the courts, its denial of his ex parte applications
for “protective orders,” in which he sought injunctive relief, and defendants’
alleged violation of his First Amendment rights.
AFFIRMED.
