MUSA RENE NANA,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

v. CASTRO; DAHLMAN; CAPTAIN NARDOLILLO; C. DOBSON; R. WELSH; JUDY HUGHES,

ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Before BRORBY , EBEL , and LUCERO , Circuit Judges.

Plaintiff Musa Rene Nana appeals from an order of the district court granting defendants ’ motion for summary judgment. 1 We affirm.2 Mr. Nana was deported to Africa March 4, 1998. -2- Mr. Nana was imprisoned following his conviction oncriminal charges. He was transferred to the INS Processing Center aft er service of that sentence pending deportation to his native country of Nigeria. 2Following an altercation, Mr. Nana was placed in a segregation cell at which time his shoes and prescription orthotics were removed. Apparently, these items were thrown away by another detainee at the direction of defendants

. Mr. Nana commenced this action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics , 403 U.S. 388 (1971). He alleged his Eighth Amendment rights had been violated by defendants , various employees at the Processing Center. He also alleged his due process rights were violated by the “despoilation” of his belongings and that defendants had committed medical malpractice. The district court dismissed the due process claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and granted summary judgment on the two remai ning claims. On appeal, Mr. Nana argues only that the district court erred in granting defendants summary judgment on his Eighth Amendment claim. We review the district court’s grant of summary jud gment de novo applying the same legal standard used by the district court under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). See James v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. , 21 F.3d 989, 997-98 (10th Cir. 1994). We will-3-

affirm the district court’s order if no material fa cts are disputed and if the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Rule 56(c). A prisoner may establish an Eighth Amendment violat ion by showing “deliberate indifference to [his] serious medical n eeds” on the part of his jailors. Estelle v. Gamble , 429 U.S. 97, 104 (1976). Deliberate indifference is more than mere negligence. A negligent failure to provide ad equate medical care, even one constituting medical malpractice, does not rise to the level of a constitutional violation. See id. at 106. Further, disagreements with the medical s taff about the care received do not establish deliberate indifference. See Ramos v. Lamm , 639 F.2d 559, 575 (10th Cir. 1980). At best, Mr. Nana has alleged only a disagreement about his care. Defendants have submitted an affidavit from the phy sician treating Mr. Nana stating that he did not find that Mr. Nana requiredorthotic devices. The fact that Mr. Nana had previously used orthotic devices does not mean that such devices were currently required.-4-

The judgment is AFFIRMED for substantially the reas ons stated by the United States District Court in its order of June 16, 1998, adopting the magistrate judge ’s recommendation of May 7, 1998.
