                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of California
                    James Donato, District Judge, Presiding

                          Submitted December 12, 2023**

Before:      WALLACE, LEE, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges

      California state prisoner Jose Luis Garcia 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.

      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
2004). We affirm.

      The district court properly granted summary judgment because Garcia failed

to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant was deliberately

indifferent in treating Garcia’s foot issues. See id. at 1057-60 (prison officials act

with deliberate indifference only if they know of and disregard a risk to the

prisoner’s health; medical malpractice, negligence, or difference of opinion

concerning the course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference).

      AFFIRMED.
