MEMORANDUM
Herman Tiemens, Jr., a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his 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), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Tiemens failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants knowingly disregarded an excessive risk to his health in denying his requests for ice chips and pudding snacks to be served in conjunction with his heart medication. See id. at 1058 (prison officials act with deliberate indifference only if they know of and disregard an excessive risk to inmate health, and a difference of opinion concerning the appropriate course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference).
AFFIRMED.
