The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Plaintiffs Horacio C. Raz, Juliana G. Raz, and Rochelle G. Raz appeal pro se
from the district court’s order dismissing their action alleging federal and state law
claims arising from foreclosure proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291, and we affirm.
The Razes have failed to address on appeal how the district court erred in
dismissing any of their claims. Rather, the Razes raise new claims against
defendants and allege errors in their bankruptcy and state court unlawful detainer
actions. As a result, the Razes have waived their appeal of the district court’s
dismissal. 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.”);
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 . . . .”);
see also Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009) (we do not
consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal).
The Razes’ pending motion, filed on March 9, 2015, is denied.
AFFIRMED.
