Hunt v. Capen (In re Hunt) , 693 F. App'x 590 ( 2017 )

MEMORANDUM ^**

Chapter 7 debtor Peli Popovich Hunt appeals pro se from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order converting Hunt’s chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding to a chapter 7 proceeding. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We affirm.

In the opening brief, Hunt fails to address how the bankruptcy court erred in converting Hunt’s bankruptcy case. As a result, Hunt has waived her 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.”).

We reject as meritless Hunt’s contentions that the district court and bankrupt cy court lacked jurisdiction and demonstrated bias.

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
