MEMORANDUM **
Ronald R. Santos, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action alleging that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his medical needs by inadequately treating his Hepatitis C infection, and by confiscating his back brace. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Jackson v. City of Bremerton, 268 F.3d 646, 650 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Santos’ deliberate indifference claims because Santos failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether additional testing of his fiver, additional inoculations, or more aggressive treatment was medically necessary. See Sanchez v. Vild, 891 F.2d 240, 242 (9th Cir.1989) (indicating that a difference of opinion about a course of medical treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference to serious medical needs). Similarly, Santos failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the defendants were deliberately indifferent in confiscating his back brace, given that he was evaluated many times for his back ailments, and there was no evidence that he currently has a medical need for the back brace. See id.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Santos’ motion to compel the production of medical records because contrary to Santos’ contention, he had access to his medical records pursuant to the prison procedure.
Finally, Santos failed to demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the prison officials’ submission of his medical records under seal, or that was prevented from fifing a response.
Santos’ remaining contentions lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
