   MEMORANDUM

David R. Gelinas and Karen M. Gelinas appeal pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to file an amended complaint their action alleging federal and state law claims arising from a pending foreclosure. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1384 (9th Cir. 1996). We affirm.

In the opening brief, plaintiffs fail to address how the district court erred in dismissing their action for failure to prosecute. As a result, plaintiffs have waived their challenge to the district court’s order. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1048, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“[0]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.”).

AFFIRMED.
