OLIVER, Doctor; RICHARD ) MICHIGAN DODMAN, RN; MARY ZAMORA, RN, ) ) ) Before: STRANCH, READLER, and MATHIS, Circuit Judges. Larry E. Harrison, a pro se Michigan prisoner, appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. This case has been referred to a panel of the court that, upon examination, unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). For the reasons discussed below, we affirm. I. Factual & Procedural History At the time giving rise to his allegations, Harrison was confined at the St. Louis Correctional Facility (SLF). Harrison has Hirschsprung’s disease, a condition that causes him constipation and incontinence. As a result, Harrison wears incontinence undergarments. Harrison alleged that he sent several kites to Dr. Sharon Oliver between August and December 2021, requesting treatment and proper-fitting undergarments, to no avail. He then met with Dr. Oliver on December 23, 2021, and complained about his alleged lack of treatment, at which point Dr. Oliver purportedly became irate and said, “I’m not going to treat you for anything because I’m No. 24-1815 pe tired of your complaints and thinking you have a right to care that’s in line with treatment afforded society.” According to Harrison, on April 12, 2022, he sent a kite complaining about his incontinence undergarments not working properly, but nursing supervisor Richard Dodman responded that the provided undergarments were sufficient.

On April 28, 2022, Harrison again met with Dr. Oliver intending to discuss his undergarments and diet, but Dr. Oliver allegedly threatened to adjust his medication and dismissed him due to his previous complaints. Then, on July 5, 2022, Dr. Oliver allegedly removed Harrison from her medical docket, and the health unit refused to process his subsequent medical kites. Despite this, Harrison was summoned for a follow-up appointment with Dr. Oliver on August 3, 2022, and, while in the waiting room, Harrison allegedly saw Dr. Oliver peek her head out of her office and observe him before ducking back into her office. At that time, Harrison saw Dodman, health unit manager Mary Zamora, and an unknown nurse go inside Dr. Oliver’s office. Shortly thereafter, the unknown nurse came out to
