MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 19-17351
§ 1291. We review de novo. Gordon v. County of Orange, 888 F.3d 1118, 1122
(9th Cir. 2018). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because David failed
to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether any defendant’s conduct in
the course of treating David’s left hand pain was objectively unreasonable. See id.
at 1124-25 (setting forth objective deliberate indifference standard for Fourteenth
Amendment inadequate medical care claims brought by pretrial detainees).
We reject as unsupported by the record David’s contentions that the district
court was biased against him or failed “to state a legal reason” for granting
summary judgment.
AFFIRMED.
