U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 20-55490
XVI of the Social Security Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291. We review de novo, Attmore v. Colvin, 827 F.3d 872, 875
(9th Cir. 2016), and we affirm.
Wiggins argues that his impairments meet or equal listed
impairments, and that the ALJ thus erred by failing to award benefits
at step three of the sequential analysis. But Wiggins neither identified
any listed impairment he met or equaled nor provided any argument
or record citations supporting his claim here or before the district
court. Similarly, Wiggins’s assertions regarding the ALJ’s
hypotheticals, the definition of disability, and the Americans with
Disabilities Act fail to identify any error and lack supporting
argument. These arguments are thus insufficient to invoke this court’s
review. See Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925,
929 (9th Cir. 2003) (“[W]e review only issues which are argued
specifically and distinctly in a party’s opening brief.” (citation and
internal quotation marks omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
