Steven R. Schaaf, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Lee Holliday, F.n.p., R.n., in Her Personal Capacity; Johndoe Holliday, Husband; Ruben Acosta, M.d., in His Personalcapacity; Irene Acosta, Wife; Jane Doe Mui, Wife; Davidb. Edwards, M.d., in His Personal Capacity; Jane Doeedwards, Wife; Andrew H. Mui, M.d., in His Personalcapacity, Defendants-appellees, 141 F.3d 1179 (9th Cir. 1998)

MEMORANDUM^* 

Steven R. Schaaf appeals pro se the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendant Arizona medical practitioners in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

After a de novo review, see Arizona State Carpenters Pension Trust Fund v. Citibank (Ariz.), 125 F.3d 715, 721 (9th Cir. 1997), we conclude that Schaaf failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact as to defendants' deliberate indifference. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106-7, 97 S. Ct. 285, 50 L. Ed. 2d 251 (1976); see also Franklin v. State of Oregon, 662 F.2d 1337, 1344 (9th Cir. 1981) (stating that a difference of opinion regarding appropriate medical diagnosis or treatment is insufficient to establish deliberate indifference).

AFFIRMED.¹
