Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California
William Horsley Orrick III, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 27, 2016**
Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
California state prisoner Daniel S. Sandigo 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), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Sandigo
failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were
deliberately indifferent in treating his shoulder injury. See id. at 1057-58, 1060 (to
establish deliberate indifference, a plaintiff must show the official knows of and
disregards an excessive risk to inmate health and safety; medical malpractice,
negligence, or a difference of opinion concerning the course of treatment does not
amount to deliberate indifference); see also Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1207-08
(9th Cir. 2011) (a supervisor is liable under § 1983 only if he or she is personally
involved in the constitutional deprivation or there is a “sufficient causal connection
between the supervisor’s wrongful conduct and the constitutional violation”
(citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
We reject as unsupported by the record Sandigo’s contention that the district
court failed to analyze evidence.
AFFIRMED.
