MEMORANDUM**
Russell Francis Stenger, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of defendant prison officials in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that defendants violated his Eighth Amendment rights when he was beaten by his cellmate. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
After a de novo review, see McGuckin v. Smith, 974 F.2d 1050, 1059 (9th Cir. 1992), we affirm for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's order filed on July 11, 1996.
We also conclude that the district court did not err by continuing Stenger's motion for summary judgment.
