MEMORANDUM **

Donavon Henderson appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to prosecute his action alleging federal claims arising out of a residential home loan transaction. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.

*898 We do not consider the merits of the district court’s dismissal of Henderson’s action because Henderson does not raise any argument in his opening brief concerning the district court’s dismissal of his action. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“[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 will not manufacture arguments for an appellant, and a bare, assertion does not preserve a claim....”).

AFFIRMED.
