MEMORANDUM*
DONALD STEVEN PARKS,
Appellant,
v.
KIMBERLY J. HUSTED, Trustee,

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Appellate Panel’s (“BAP”) judgment affirming the bankruptcy court’s order
granting Parks a discharge. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We
affirm.
In the opening brief, Parks fails to address how the bankruptcy court erred in
granting him a discharge. As a result, Parks has waived any challenge to the
bankruptcy 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 review only
issues which are argued specifically and distinctly in a party’s opening brief.”).
Parks’s request for fees and costs, set forth in his opening brief, is denied.
AFFIRMED.
