FILED OCT 05 2016 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT In re: MICHAEL T. MEEHAN, No. 14-60078 Debtor. ______________________________ BAP No. 13-1571 MICHAEL T. MEEHAN, MEMORANDUM* Appellant, v. OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC; WELLS FARGO BANK, NA, As trustee for Option One Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-3, Appellees. Appeal from the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Dunn, Taylor, and Spraker, Bankruptcy Judges, Presiding Submitted September 27, 2016** Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges. * 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). Michael T. Meehan appeals pro se from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s (“BAP”) order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing for lack standing Meehan’s adversary proceeding. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d)(1). We affirm. In his opening brief, Meehan fails to address how the BAP or the bankruptcy court erred in either ruling. As a result, Meehan has waived his appeal of the dismissal order. 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.”); see also 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. 2 14-60078
