MEMORANDUM* Michael Ostrowski appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of Carolco Pictures Inc., and
other defendants (collectively "Carolco") in his action under the Federal Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§
501, 504. Ostrowski contends that Carolco infringed on the copyright of his screenplay "The Diogenes Syndrome" ("Diogenes"),
through its involvement and distribution of the film "To Forget Palermo" ("Palermo"). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291. We affirm. We review de novo the district court's summary judgment. Kouf v. Walt Disney Pictures & Tel., 16 F.3d 1042, 1044 (9th
Cir. 1994). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, we must determine whether there are any
genuine issues of material fact and whether the district court correctly applied the relevant substantive law. Id.
