   MEMORANDUM

Charles Gregory Reece, a California state prisoner, 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). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Reece failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant was deliberately indifferent to the treatment of his hypertension. See id. at 1057-58 (a prison official is deliberately indifferent only if he or she “knows of and disregards an excessive risk to inmate health” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

AFFIRMED.
