¶1*247Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, ALDISERT and WEIS, Circuit Judges.
¶2OPINION
¶4In November 2010, James Murray, a federal prisoner currently housed in the Special Management Unit (“SMU”) at the United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, filed in the District Court a pro se petition for judicial review of a decision of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”). Murray’s petition claimed that he has a constitutional right under the Ninth Amendment to choose his SMU cellmate. Before filing in the District Court, Murray had sought an administrative remedy from the BOP, alleging a right to choose his cellmate and requesting that the BOP allow him to do so. The BOP found Murray had no such right and denied his request. In his petition for judicial review, Murray requested that the District Court set aside the BOP’s decision.1 The District Court denied Murray’s petition as meritless. Murray now appeals from the District Court’s judgment; requests that we take judicial notice of certain case law, pleadings, and other documents, and appoint counsel on his behalf; and moves to amend deficient judicial statements.
¶5We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and may affirm the District Court’s judgment on any basis supported by the record. See Tourscher v. McCullough, 184 F.3d 236, 240 (3d Cir.1999). Because this appeal does not present a substantial question, we will summarily affirm the District Court’s judgment. See 3d Cir. L.A.R. 27.4; 3d Cir. I.O.P. 10.6.
¶6Murray argues that the Ninth Amendment “protects rights that are ‘fundamental,]’ ” such as “rights to marry; to raise a family; the right to an abortion[,]” and the right to choose one’s cellmate. Although there is some authority for the proposition that the Ninth Amendment is a source of fundamental rights, see Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 493, 85 S.Ct. 1678, 14 L.Ed.2d 510 (1965) (Goldberg, J., concurring), no court of which we are aware has held that the Ninth Amendment establishes a right to choose one’s cellmate. To the contrary, those courts confronted with the question of whether inmates have a constitutional right to choose a cellmate have held that no such right exists. See Harris v. Greer, 750 F.2d 617, 618 (7th Cir.1984); see also Cole v. Benson, 760 F.2d 226, 227 (8th Cir.1985) (per curiam) (inmate has no Eighth Amendment right to be placed in a particular cell). Accordingly, the District Court properly denied this claim.
¶7*248In his brief in opposition to summary action, Murray advises that, since the time he filed his petition in the District Court, he has been placed with a desirable cellmate. He still wishes to proceed with the appeal, however, in order to challenge the broader BOP policy disallowing prisoners to choose their cellmates. Murray did not raise this broader challenge in the District Court; therefore, it is waived on appeal.
¶8Because this appeal does not present a substantial question, we will summarily affirm the District Court’s judgment. Murray’s request for appointment of counsel, request to take judicial notice, and motion to amend deficient judicial statements will be denied.
