 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 133 F.3d 926 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted December 15, 1997**Decided Dec. 17, 1997

Before SNEED, LEAVY, and TROTT, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

California state prisoner Elie Franklin appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs when prison officials failed to remove mechanical restraints so Franklin could obtain physical therapy. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, see Jesinger v. Nevada Fed. Credit Union, 24 F.3d 1127, 1130 (9th Cir. 1994), and we affirm for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation, filed on February 21, 1997, which was adopted in full by the district court's Order filed on March 31, 1997.

We also reject Franklin's contention that the district court abused its discretion by denying his request for the appointment of counsel. See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991).

AFFIRMED.1
