William F. Mciver, Ii, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Cbs, "a Current Affair", Defendant,andmaureen O'boyle, Hilari Palatnik, Bill Mcgowan, Defendants-appellees, 70 F.3d 120 (9th Cir. 1995)
Annotate this CaseBefore: WALLACE, Chief Judge, D.W. NELSON and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.
ORDER*
The district court granted summary judgment to Defendants-Appellees O'Boyle, Palatnik, and McGowan on three independent grounds: failure to show actual malice, the fair reporting privilege, and the neutral reporting privilege. In his brief, Appellant McIver did not address the two reporting privileges, a failure he conceded at oral argument. He has thus waived any arguments against these alternative grounds. Destination Ventures, Ltd. v. F.C.C., 46 F.3d 54, 57 (9th Cir. 1995). As the reporting privileges are sufficient to support the grant of summary judgment, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
