2 16-55633
In his opening brief, Stanley fails to address how the district court abused its
discretion in dismissing his action for failure to comply with the local rules. As a
result, Stanley has waived his challenge to the dismissal order. See Smith v.
Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“On appeal, arguments not raised by
a party in its opening brief are deemed waived.”); Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971,
977 (9th Cir. 1994) (“We will not manufacture arguments for an appellant . . . .”).
AFFIRMED.
