NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 4 2024 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT FESTUS OKWUDILI OHAN, No. 23-35435 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 3:22-cv-00266-RRB v. MEMORANDUM* ZION; ISREAL; SAUDI ARABIA; EUROPIAN UNION; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska Ralph R. Beistline, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 29, 2024** Before: FRIEDLAND, BENNETT, and SANCHEZ, Circuit Judges. Festus Okwudili Ohan appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action related to purported takings of his property, among other things. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).  In his opening brief, Ohan failed to address the grounds for dismissal and has therefore forfeited his challenge to the district court’s order. See Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (explaining that “we cannot manufacture arguments for an appellant and therefore we will not consider any claims that were not actually argued in appellant’s opening brief” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). All pending motions are denied. AFFIRMED. 2 23-35435
