   MEMORANDUM

Alex Tabatabaee, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing 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 a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) and 28 U.S.C, § 1915A. Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012); Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Tabatabaee’s claims against defendants Johnson, Safari, Baldoz, Santos, Quilling, Coleman, Rios, and John Doe because Ta-batabaee failed to allege facts sufficient to show that these defendants were deliberately indifferent to his low blood pressure and other medical needs. See Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1057 (9th Cir. 2004) (a prison official acts with deliberate indifference only if he or she lmows of and disregards an excessive risk to a prisoner’s health, and negligence or a difference in opinion- are insufficient to establish deliberate indifference).

The district court properly dismissed Tabatabaee’s claims against defendants Marshall, Bradford, Richey, and Jane Does 1-2 because Tabatabaee failed to allege facts sufficient to show that these defendants were personally involved in Ta-batabee’s medical care or that they instituted or condoned an unconstitutional policy or practice. See Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1207 (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”).

AFFIRMED.
