Melvin James Atkinson, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Steven v. Southwick; Lincoln County Commissioners; Robertaja; John Miller; Mike Boyer; Jerry Pierce;ryan Barnes; Gooding County Board Ofcommissioners, Defendants-appellees, 116 F.3d 1485 (9th Cir. 1997)

MEMORANDUM^* 

Melvin James Atkinson appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court's grant of summary judgment, see Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam), and we affirm.

After a de nova review, we conclude that Atkinson failed to show that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his health and safety during three outbreaks of lice and scabies. See Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1334 (9th Cir. 1990). We agree with the district court that Atkinson failed to submit evidence to establish an actual injury resulting from his allegations regarding access to the courts. See Lewis v. Casey, 116 S. Ct. 2174, 2178 (1996).

Accordingly, the district court did not err by granting summary judgment in favor of defendants. See Barnett, 31 F.3d at 816.

AFFIRMED.
