pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The facts of this case are known to the parties. We
need not repeat them here.
Trujillo may not seek review of the district court’s denial of his motion for
summary judgment on the inadequate medical care claim. The Supreme Court
recently clarified that a party may not appeal an order denying summary judgment
after a full trial on the merits. Ortiz v. Jordan, __ U.S. __, 131 S. Ct. 884, 888–89
(2011); see also Price v. Kramer, 200 F.3d 1237, 1243 (9th Cir. 2000).
The district court was correct to grant summary judgment to the IDOC
defendants on Trujillo’s calculated harassment and failure to protect claims.
Trujillo’s failure to protect claim is based on nothing but his own speculation, and
“this court has refused to find a genuine issue where the only evidence presented is
uncorroborated and self-serving testimony.” Villiarimo v. Aloha Island Air, Inc.,
281 F.3d 1054, 1061 (9th Cir. 2002) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Appellant’s calculated harassment allegations simply do not rise to the level of an
Eighth Amendment violation. See Hope v. Pelzer, 536 U.S. 730, 737–38 (2002).
We have reviewed Trujillo’s remaining contentions, and determine that they
lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
