   MEMORANDUM

Appellee/Plaintiff Ernest Kelly Holes-tine (“Holestine”), filed a pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that his Eighth Amendment rights were violated when prison officials failed to treat his hepatitis C condition.

Appellants/Defendants Cal Terhune, et al. (“Appellants”) appeal the district court’s denial of summary judgment on their qualified immunity claim. Additionally, Appellants request that defendants Terhune, Harding and McGrath be dismissed from the action because they were not individually involved with Holestine’s medical treatment.

Medical treatment in the prison context violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and gives rise to Section 1983 liability only if the prisoner is deprived of the “minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities,” and the conduct complained of constitutes “deliberate indifference” to the “serious medical needs” of the prisoner. Hallett v. Morgan, 296 F.3d 732, 744 (9th Cir.2002) (citations omitted).

The district court viewed the evidence in the light most favorable to Holestine and did not err in denying qualified immunity to Appellants. See Robinson v. Prunty, 249 F.3d 862, 866 (9th Cir.2001); Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335 (9th Cir.1990) (recognizing that a six-day delay in treating hepatitis may constitute deliberate indifference).

We do not reach the issue of the prison supervisors’ dismissal on grounds other than qualified immunity because we lack jurisdiction over that interlocutory matter. See Swint v. Chambers County Commission, 514 U.S. 35, 50-51, 115 S.Ct. 1203, 131 L.Ed.2d 60 (1995).

AFFIRMED.
