                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                     Percy Anderson, District Judge, Presiding

                          Submitted November 16, 2016**

Before:      LEAVY, BERZON, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

      George C. Chatman appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action alleging that defendants violated his constitutional rights and

affirm.

      Chatman failed to address any of the district court’s grounds for dismissal,

and has therefore waived his appeal of the district court’s order. See Indep. Towers

of Wash. v. Washington, 

, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (“[W]e will not

consider any claims that were not actually argued in appellant’s opening brief.”);

Acosta-Huerta v. Estelle, 

, 144 (9th Cir. 1993) (issues not supported by

argument in pro se appellant’s opening brief are waived).

      AFFIRMED.
