Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Dr. James Murphy appeals a district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants Nita Goss, W. Kent Williamson, and Kathleen Haley on Murphy's due process and equal protection claims. Dr. Murphy contends that Defendants knowingly made a false statement when reporting Dr. Murphy's discipline by the Oregon Medical Board to the National Practitioner Data Bank (Data Bank). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
The district court did not err in concluding that Defendants are immune from liability under 42 U.S.C. § 11137(c). The record contains no evidence that Defendants knew that any information Goss submitted to the Data Bank in relation to Dr. Murphy's discipline was false.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
