DIEGO RIVERA VALENCIA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. JOHN FOREST WEIS I, District Attorney of the State of California, County of Imperial Valley, individual; GILBERT G. OTERO, Defendants-Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 3:18-cv-01261-WQH-NLS MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California
William Q. Hayes, District Judge, Presiding Before: SCHROEDER, PAEZ, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Diego Rivera Valencia appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims related to his proceedings in a criminal case. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.
In his opening brief, Valencia fails to address the district court's grounds for dismissal. Therefore, Valencia has waived his challenge to the district court's dismissal order. See 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 . . . .").
AFFIRMED.
