   MEMORANDUM

D. L. Taylor, a.k.a. Ivory Curtis, a.k.a. I. C. Taylor, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Brodheim v. Cry, 584 F.3d 1262, 1267 (9th Cir. 2009), and for the reasons stated by the district court we affirm.

Taylor’s requests for judicial notice are denied.

AFFIRMED.
