Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Michael Wallace, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his safety in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1131 (9th Cir.2000) (en banc), and affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Wallace cannot show that the prison officials violated the Eighth Amendment by being deliberately indifferent to the risk presented by the missing or broken floor tiles and resulting holes in the kitchen floor. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834-36, 844, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994).
Wallace's contentions arising from the district court's handling of certain discovery and evidentiary matters are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
