*1 Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Karriem B. Shaheed 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. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. *2 § 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 Shaheed failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were deliberately indifferent to his ankle injury. See id. at 1058, 1060 (deliberate indifference is a high legal standard; medical malpractice, negligence, or a difference of opinion concerning the course of treatment does not amount to deliberate indifference).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
