The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Federal prisoner Martin Joseph Jonassen appeals pro se from the district
court’s order denying his request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in his action
brought under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of
Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We
affirm.
Because Jonassen does not challenge the district court’s denial of his request
to proceed IFP in his opening brief, we do not address the decision. See Indep.
Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (explaining that
“we will not consider any claims that were not actually argued in appellant’s
opening brief”).
All pending motions and requests are denied.
AFFIRMED.
