Before: SNEED, LEAVY and TROTT, Circuit Judges

MEMORANDUM^* 

Juan Adame, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in favor of prison officials in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that defendants used excessive force to remove him from his cell after he refused to reliquish his food tray. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.¹  We review de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment. See Taylor v. List, 880 F.2d 1040, 1044 (9th Cir. 1989). We dismiss.

We agree with the district court that Adame failed to show personal participation by defendants Davis, Swetich, and Price in extracting him from his cell. See Taylor, 880 F 2d at 1045. We also agree that Adame failed to show that defendant Wells used excessive force agairst him. See Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 6-7 (1992) To the extent Adame appeals the dismissal of defendants Prunty, Garcia, and Washington, we affirm the dismissal because Adame failed to show the defendants personally participated in a constitutional violation. See Taylor, 880 F.2d at 1045.

AFFIRMED.
