    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Oct. 29, 2009.
    Lee Treadway, Tallulah, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Ronald E. Corkern, Jr., Corkern & Crews, Natchitoches, LA, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before GARZA, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Lee Treadway, Louisiana prisoner # 96980, appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We affirm the district court’s judgment.

Treadway was an inmate at the Winn Correctional Center (WCC) at the time of the events in question. On February 11, 2006, Eddie Lambert, an Orleans Parish Prison inmate temporarily housed at WCC, assaulted Treadway while Treadway was walking to the cafeteria. Lambert punched Treadway in the face, knocked him to the floor and kicked him. Tread-way sustained a cut and bruising under his right eye, a cut on his inner lip, and a knot on the left side of his head.

Treadway brought suit against the defendants, alleging that prison officials had failed to protect him from the violence. In his complaint, Treadway asserted that Ferguson, a floor officer, allowed Lambert to leave his tier without receiving clearance from Taylor, the shift, supervisor. Treadway also asserted that Ferguson stood by and watched while Lambert attacked him. Treadway stated that Beau-bouef and Jordan similarly did not act to prevent the assault. Finally, according to Treadway, Taylor and Ferguson set him up to be attacked.

We review a district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Summary judgment is appropriate when “there is no genuine issue as to any material fact” and “the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” The court considers the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.

Prison officials have a duty under the Eighth Amendment to protect prisoners from violence at the hands of other prisoners. However, not every injury suffered by an inmate at the hands of another “translates into constitutional liability for prison officials responsible for the victim’s safety.” To establish a failure-to-protect claim, the plaintiff must prove that he was detained “under conditions posing a substantial risk of serious harm and that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his need for protection.” A defendant acts with deliberate indifference when he is aware of the facts from which the inference could be drawn that a substantial risk of serious harm exists and he in fact draws the inference.

In this case, Treadway has not presented sufficient evidence to make out a failure-to-protect claim. Treadway makes allegations against only Beaubouef, Jordan, Taylor, and Ferguson. The other defendants are not accused of wrongdoing, and indeed some were added solely in order to obtain their testimony at trial. As for Beaubouef, Jordan, Taylor, and Ferguson, Treadway has not presented competent summary judgment evidence that they were deliberately indifferent to a substantial risk of serious harm to him. Tread-way admits that he did not know Lambert before the attack. Treadway has presented no evidence that any of the defendants knew that Lambert might present a threat of harm to Treadway. The record establishes that Ferguson and other WCC employees followed the proper procedure at the time of the altercation. Therefore, Treadway has not shown that there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the defendants acted with deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of serious harm.

For these reasons, we AFFIRM the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
