Michael GREEN, aka Kevin Dean Brewer, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. HATHAWAY; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
MEMORANDUM **
California prisoner Michael Green, AKA Kevin Dean Brewer, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his health and safety. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Green’s action because Green failed to allege facts sufficient to link defendants to any constitutional violation. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (a plaintiff must allege facts that “allow[ ] the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged”).
AFFIRMED.
