MEMORANDUM*
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Nevada
Robert Clive Jones, Chief Judge, Presiding
Submitted March 12, 2013**
Before: PREGERSON, REINHARDT, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Nevada state prisoner Todd M. Honeycutt 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 related to orthopedic shoes. We have

12-16360 2
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 Honeycutt
failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants knew of
and consciously disregarded his serious medical conditions warranting orthopedic
footwear. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834, 837 (1994) (for deliberate
indifference claim, prisoner must make a subjective showing that prison officials
knew of and disregarded “an excessive risk to inmate health or safety”); see also
Toguchi, 391 F.3d at 1059-60 (inmate’s difference of opinion with his physician,
or a difference of opinion between physicians, as to what treatment is appropriate
does not constitute deliberate indifference).
Issues raised by Honeycutt in his briefs that are not supported by argument,
such as the denial of his post-judgment motion to alter or amend his complaint, are
deemed waived. See Acosta-Huerta v. Estelle, 7 F.3d 139, 144 (9th Cir. 1992).
AFFIRMED.
