Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Oregon
Marco A. Hernandez, Chief District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 5, 2024**
Before: O’SCANNLAIN, FERNANDEZ, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
Pedro Segura, Sr. appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment
for the defendants in his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging constitutional
violations in his pretrial detention. Because the facts are known to the parties, we

repeat them only as necessary to explain our decision.
I
After the district court screened and dismissed Segura’s Amended
Complaint with leave to amend, Segura filed his Second Amended Complaint.
The Second Amended Complaint superseded the Amended Complaint, and the
Amended Complaint no longer has any legal effect. Lacey v. Maricopa County,
693 F.3d 896, 927-28 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Accordingly, Segura has waived
his objection to the dismissal of his Amended Complaint, and we do not consider
the district court’s dismissal order. Cf. Falck N. Cal. Corp. v. Scott Griffith Collab.
Sols., LLC, 25 F.4th 763, 765-66 (9th Cir. 2022).
II
District courts have broad discretion to oversee discovery. Laub v. U.S.
Dep’t of the Interior, 342 F.3d 1080, 1093 (9th Cir. 2003). Segura has not shown a
“reasonable probability that the outcome would have been different had discovery
been allowed,” id., and we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying Segura’s motions, see also Martel v. County of Los Angeles,
56 F.3d 993, 996 (9th Cir. 1995) (en banc).
III
Summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine dispute of
material fact, and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R.

Civ. P. 56(a). Segura received due process before being reassigned to disciplinary
segregation. Uncontroverted evidence in the record shows that Segura received
written notice of hearings, had the opportunity to call witnesses, and received a
written statement by the factfinder of the evidence on which it relied and the
reasons for discipline. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 564-66 (1974);
Ashker v. Newsom, 81 F.4th 863, 878 (9th Cir. 2023). Similarly, the record refutes
Segura’s challenges to the conditions of his confinement. He visited with legal
professionals several times while assigned to segregation and had access to an
electronic tablet for legal research. Further, he has not cited any evidence showing
that he did not receive adequate medical care or was denied adequate food or
hygiene.
The district court did not err in granting summary judgment on all of
Segura’s claims when the defendants moved for summary judgment on all claims.
See also Norse v. City of Santa Cruz, 629 F.3d 966, 971-72 (9th Cir. 2010). Nor
did the district court abuse its discretion by denying Segura’s motion for leave to
amend his complaint when amendment would have been futile. See Ctr. for Bio.
Diversity v. U.S. Forest Serv., 80 F.4th 943, 955-56 (9th Cir. 2023).
We do not consider issues that were not argued specifically in the opening
brief. Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971, 977 (9th Cir. 1994).
AFFIRMED.
