                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Alaska

Before:        D. NELSON, LEAVY, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

      Because Gunn did not argue any discernable issues in his opening brief, we

affirm the district court. See Nevada Dept. of Corrections v. Greene, 648 F.3d
1014, 1020 (9th Cir. 2011) (pro se appellant’s issues were deemed waived by his

failure to support any of the issues with argument); Independent Towers of Wash.

v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (this court reviews only issues

argued specifically in a party’s opening brief).

      AFFIRMED.
