Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Raner C. Collins, District Judge, Presiding 2 21-15583 Submitted February 15, 2022 San Francisco, California Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges. Arizona state prisoner Demetrius A. Wilson appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm. The district court properly granted summary judgment because Wilson failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. See id. at 1060-61 (holding deliberate indifference is a high legal standard requiring a defendant be aware of and disregard an excessive risk to an inmate’s health). We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). All pending requests are denied. AFFIRMED.
