   MEMORANDUM

Elonza Jesse Tyler, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment for prison medical officials in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his medical needs. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 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 Tyler failed to raise a triable issue as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent to his medical needs concerning his knees. See id. at 1058 (“[T]o prevail on a claim involving choices between alternative courses of treatment, a prisoner must show that the chosen course of treatment was medically unacceptable under the circumstances, and was chosen in conscious disregard of an excessive risk to [the prisoner’s] health.”) (internal quotation marks omitted, alteration in original).

Tyler’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

We deny all pending motions.

AFFIRMED.
