James Urso, Plaintiff-appellant, v. City of Ridgecrest; Randy Narramore, Police Chief; Ronaldstrand, Officer; Brian Sandrini, Officer,defendants-appellees, 131 F.3d 150 (9th Cir. 1997)

MEMORANDUM^* 

James R. Urso appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of the City of Ridgecrest and police officers in Urso's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 police misconduct action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, see Leer v. Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 631 (9th Cir. 1988), and we affirm.

Because Urso has failed to present on appeal any facts or legal argument regarding error by the district court, we deem Urso's claims abandoned. See Fed. R. App. P. 28(a) (4), (6); Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir. 1996) (holding that issues not argued in opening brief are deemed abandoned), cert. denied, 118 S. Ct. 49 (1997); Acosta-Huerta v. Estelle, 7 F.3d 139, 144 (9th Cir. 1993) (same holding in pro se appeal). We conclude that our refusal to review Urso's abandoned claims will not result in manifest injustice. See id.

AFFIRMED.
