   MEMORANDUM

Leonel Cantu Lopez, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment for defendant in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that he was unlawfully housed in administrative segregation and subjected to excessive force. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo an order granting summary judgment, Togu-chi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant on Lopez’s due process and Eighth Amendment claims because Lopez failed to raise a triable issue as to whether the defendant caused the violations Lopez alleges. See Leer v. Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 633 (9th Cir.1988) (“The inquiry into causation must be individualized and focus on the duties and responsibilities of each individual defendant whose acts or omissions are alleged to have caused a constitutional deprivation.”).

Lopez’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
