The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri, sitting by designation.
Defendants on Lyons’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim of inadequate medical care while
he was a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction over Lyons’s appeal under 28
U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm.
We review a district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Fair
Hous. Council of Riverside Cty., Inc. v. Riverside Two,
249 F.3d 1132, 1135 (9th
Cir. 2001). Summary judgment is appropriate when “there is no genuine dispute as
to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). In making this determination, courts view all facts and
reasonable inferences therefrom in the light most favorable to the nonmoving
party. Davis v. United States,
854 F.3d 594, 598 (9th Cir. 2017). This Court may
affirm the district court on any ground supported by the record. Experian Info.
Sols., Inc. v. Nationwide Mktg. Servs. Inc.,
893 F.3d 1176, 1187 (9th Cir. 2018).
Here, although the district court did not have the benefit of Gordon v.
County of Orange,
888 F.3d 1118 (9th Cir. 2018), there is sufficient evidence in
the record to affirm the district court. The record shows no objective deliberate
indifference by Defendants in response to Lyons’s dental issue given the frequency
of medical appointments and the lack of any evidence that it was a dental
emergency. See
id. at 1124–25. Therefore, nothing in the record gives rise to a
genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Defendants’ conduct was objectively
unreasonable.
