v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Scott’s action for failure to state a
claim. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994) (elements of an Eighth
Amendment conditions-of-confinement claim); Gordon v. County of Orange, 888
F.3d 1118, 1125 (9th Cir. 2018) (elements of a due process conditions-of-
confinement claim); LeMaire v. Maass, 12 F.3d 1444, 1456 (9th Cir.1993) (“The
Eighth Amendment requires only that prisoners receive food that is adequate to
maintain health . . . .”).”
Scott’s motion for excerpts to be included (Docket Entry No. 8) is granted.
AFFIRMED.
