MEMORANDUM**

A. Evidentiary Hearing

2
The district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing Avalos's request for an evidentiary hearing.  In support of his request for an evidentiary hearing, Avalos submitted a declaration containing only inadmissible hearsay statements.  In doing so, Avalos failed to comply with Local Rule 73.6(i)(1) and (2), and therefore forfeited his right to an evidentiary hearing.  See S.Dist.Cal. Local R. 73.6(i)(1) and (2);  United States v. Wardlow, 951 F.2d 1115, 1116 (9th Cir.1991).

B. Standing

3
Avalos admits that he failed to point to evidence in the record that established his standing to contest the admissibility of the evidence.  Therefore, the district court did not err in holding that Avalos did not have standing.

C. Motion to Dismiss

4
Avalos signed a waiver of his right to require the Government to hold Hernandez as a witness pursuant to United States v. Lujan-Castro, 602 F.2d 877 (9th Cir.1979).  Avalos does not deny that this waiver was made knowingly and intelligently.  The waiver was therefore effective and waived Avalos's right to demand the retention of Hernandez as a witness.  See id. at 878.

5
AFFIRMED.
