Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992), and we affirm.
Lagmay did not present any arguments in his opening brief suggesting that
the district court abused its discretion. Thus, Lagmay abandoned the appeal of the
district court’s judgments dismissing his action and denying his motion for
reconsideration. See Collins v. City of San Diego, 841 F.2d 337, 339 (9th Cir.
1988) (“It is well established in this Circuit that claims which are not addressed in
the appellant’s brief are deemed abandoned.”).
Lagmay’s pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
