MEMORANDUM**


2
Aaron Washington, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of prison officials in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that they violated his Eighth Amendment rights when they denied his request for a single cell.   Appellant was subsequently injured in a fight he had with a new cell mate.   We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.   We agree with the district court that prison officials were not deliberately indifferent to his safety when they placed him in a cell with another inmate who later fought with him.  See Farmer v. Brennan, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 1979 (1994).
