Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Mario Zapata, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's judgment dismissing his action brought under 42 U.S .C. § 1983 alleging that prison officials acted with deliberate indifference to his health and safety and deprived him of a fair grievance procedure. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo both summary judgment, Margolis v. Ryan, 140 F.3d 850, 852 (9th Cir.1998), and dismissals, Barnett v. Cento-ni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam). We affirm.
We conclude that Zapata failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant May acted with deliberate indifference to Zapata's health and safety. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994).
As for the remaining defendants, we conclude that the district court did not err in dismissing Zapata's action because he failed to allege any facts demonstrating that any defendant was deliberately indifferent to his health and safety. See id.
Because this case does not present exceptional circumstances, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Zapata's request for appointment of counsel. See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir.1991).
AFFIRMED.
