Heading: Counterclaim based upon graduation clause in the 2003 loan agreement

Text: In its opening brief on appeal, Guthrie focused exclusively on the district court's decision to dismiss Guthrie's counterclaim premised on the Oklahoma Constitution. Guthrie does not address the dismissal of its counterclaim based on the graduation clause until its reply brief and then only fleetingly. In light of that, we conclude Guthrie has waived any argument challenging the dismissal of its counterclaim based upon the graduation clause in the 2003 loan agreement. [12] See M.D. Mark, Inc. v. Kerr-McGee Corp., 565 F.3d 753, 768 n. 7 (10th Cir.2009). We, thus, affirm the district court's dismissal of this counterclaim without prejudice.
