Jeremiah James PETLIG, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. C. HARRAWAY, Officer, Defendant-Appellee, Scott Carter-Eldred; et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM **
Washington state prisoner Jeremiah James Petlig appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging inadequate medical care while he was a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Gordon v. County of Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1122 (9th Cir. 2018), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Petlig failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Harraway's response to Petlig's request for immediate medical attention was objectively unreasonable. See Gordon, 888 F.3d at 1124-25 (setting forth objective deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care claims brought by pretrial detainees).
AFFIRMED.
