*1 Before: GOULD, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Robert Lee Jenkins 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. § 1291. We review de novo. Toguchi v. Chung , 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. *2 2004). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Jenkins failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant Miranda acted with deliberate indifference by changing Jenkins’s pain medication and discontinuing Jenkins’s authorization for a cane and back brace. See id. at 1058-60 (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).

AFFIRMED.
