                    Appeal from the United States District Court

                       Lucy Koh, District Judge, Presiding

Before:        SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

       David Rademaker, 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 acted with deliberate indifference to his safety in violation of the

Eighth Amendment. 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 on Rademaker’s

claim that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his safety, because

Rademaker failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether

defendants knew of and disregarded an excessive risk to his safety from slippery

shower floors. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994) (“a prison

official cannot be found liable [for deliberate indifference] . . . unless the official

knows of and disregards an excessive risk to inmate health or safety”).

      Rademaker’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

      AFFIRMED.
