U.S.C. §§ 1692e and 1962f because the district court dismissed these claims with
leave to amend and plaintiffs failed to file an amended complaint. See Chubb
Custom Ins. Co. v. Space Sys./Loral, Inc., 710 F.3d 946, 973 n.14 (9th Cir. 2013)
(failure to replead claims after dismissal with leave to amend amounts to waiver).
Plaintiffs have waived their appeal of the dismissal of their claim under 15
U.S.C. § 1692g by failing to address how the district court erred in dismissing it.
See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“[O]n appeal, arguments
not raised by a party in its opening brief are deemed waived.”); see also
Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971, 977 (9th Cir. 1994) (“We will not manufacture
arguments for an appellant, and a bare assertion does not preserve a claim . . . .”).
We do not consider allegations and arguments raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
