MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Circuit Rule 36-3.

Marcellus A. Greene appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that prison officials violated his Eighth Amendment rights by delaying delivery of seizure medications. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1129 (9th Cir.1998), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Greene failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether prison officials acted with deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. See Broughton v. Cutter Laboratories, 622 F.2d 458, 460 (9th Cir.1980).

The district court properly denied Greene's motions for appointment of counsel because he did not demonstrate exceptional circumstances. See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir.1991).

Greene's remaining contentions lack merit.

AFFIRMED.
