   MEMORANDUM

Danny Jay Romero, an Oregon state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Romero did not raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent in treating his foot pain. See id. at 1057-58 (prison officials act with deliberate indifference only if they know of and disregard an excessive risk to a prisoner’s health; a difference of opinion about the best course of medical treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference).

Romero’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
