Edward DAVID, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Eloy ITUARTE; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
MEMORANDUM **
Nevada state prisoner Edward David 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). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because David failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether any defendant's conduct in the course of treating David's left hand pain was objectively unreasonable. See id. at 1124-25 (setting forth objective deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care claims brought by pretrial detainees).
We reject as unsupported by the record David's contentions that the district court was biased against him or failed “to state a legal reason” for granting summary judgment.
AFFIRMED.
