                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                  Margaret M. Morrow, District Judge, Presiding

             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.
