No. 5:11-cv-01535-MMMJPR v. RON HOOPS, Sheriff official and individual MEMORANDUM* capacity; et al., Defendants, and D. M. BOLOT, Facility Administrator official and individual capacity; JAMES HENNING, Facility Chaplain official and individual capacity, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Margaret M. Morrow, District Judge, Presiding Submitted September 26, 2017** * 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). Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges. Travon Thompson appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging violations of his right to free exercise of religion during his pretrial detention. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm. In his opening brief, Thompson failed to challenge the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants, or any other district court order, and therefore Thompson waived any such challenge. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“[A]rguments not raised by a party in its opening brief are deemed waived.”). We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). AFFIRMED. 2 15-55594
