affirm. The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendants Waddington and Russell because Hahn failed to raise a genuine dispute of material
fact as to whether these defendants personally participated in the alleged constitutional deprivation. See Starr v. Baca , 652 F.3d 1202, 1207 (9th Cir. 2011) (a supervisor is liable under § 1983 only if he was personally involved in the constitutional deprivation or there was “a sufficient causal connection between the supervis or ’s wrongful conduct and the constitutional violation” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant Martin because Hahn failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whethe r Martin was deliberately indifferent to Hahn’s health or safety regarding Hahn’s placement at Washington State Penitentiary

. See Farmer v. Brennan , 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994) ( a prison official is deliberately indifferent only if he “ knows of and disregards an excessive risk to inmate health or safety; the official must both
be aware of facts from which the inference could be drawn that a substantial risk of serious harm exists, and he must also draw the inference”)

. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Hahn’s motion to compel because Hahn failed to demonstrate that the denial of discovery resulted in actual and substantial prejudice to him

. See Laub v. U.S. Dep’t of Inter io r ,3 18

su bstantial prejudice to the complaining litigant ” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Hahn’s request to continue summary judgment because Hahn failed to comply with the requirements

o f Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d). See Tatum v. City & County of San
Francisco , 441 F.3d 1090, 1100

Rule 56(d)).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Hahn’s motion for default judgment because Hahn did not obtain entry of default and defendants did not fail to plead or otherwise defend. See Eitel v. McCool , 782 F.2d 1470 , 1471 (9th Cir . 1986) (setting forth standard of review and two

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Hahn’s motion for leave to amend his complaint because amendment would be futile. See Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. , 656 F.3d 1034 , 1041 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting4 18
