NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED SEP 16 2021 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT BRENT EVAN WEBSTER, Appellant, v. U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 20-35788 D.C. No. 3:20-cv-00881-MO MEMORANDUM* DIVISION OF CHILD SUPPORT, Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Michael W. Mosman, District Judge, Presiding Submitted September 14, 2021** Before: PAEZ, NGUYEN, and OWENS, Circuit Judges. Brent Evan Webster appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order overruling his objections to the proofs of claim filed by the Oregon Division of Child Support. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm. * 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). In his opening brief, Webster fails to address how the district court erred by dismissing his appeal for lack of jurisdiction. As a result, Webster has waived his challenge to the district court’s 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.”); 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 . . . .”). We do not consider matters raised for the first time on appeal. See Mano-Y & M, Ltd. v. Field (In re Mortg. Store, Inc.), 773 F.3d 990, 998 (9th Cir. 2014); Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). AFFIRMED. 2 20-35788
