foreclosure on property in Oregon. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
We affirm.
In her opening brief, Parmenter failed to address any of the grounds for
dismissal and has therefore waived her challenge to the district court’s order
dismissing her action for failure to prosecute. See Indep. Towers of Wash. v.
Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (“[W]e will not consider any claims
that were not actually argued in appellant’s opening brief.”); Acosta-Huerta v.
Estelle, 7 F.3d 139, 144 (9th Cir. 1993) (issues not supported by argument in pro se
appellant’s opening brief are 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 Parmenter’s renewed request for appointment of counsel
set forth in her opening brief. In Docket Entry No. 18, this court denied
Parmenter’s motion for appointment of counsel and ordered that no motions for
reconsideration, clarification, or modification of the denial shall be filed or
entertained.
All other pending motions and requests are denied.
AFFIRMED.
