Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
Jesus G. Bernal, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted March 16, 2021** Before: GRABER, R. NELSON, and HUNSAKER, Circuit Judges.
In these consolidated appeals, Arogant Hollywood and Alison Helen Fairchild appeal pro se from the district court’s order declaring them to be vexatious litigants and entering a pre-filing review order against them. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion.
**
The panel unanimously concludes these cases are suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
2 20-55012, 20-55013, 20-55014, 20-55075 Ringgold-Lockhart v. County of Los Angeles, 761 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2014). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in declaring Hollywood and Fairchild to be vexatious litigants and entering a pre-filing review order against them after providing notice and an opportunity to be heard, developing an adequate record for review, making substantive findings as to the frivolous and harassing nature of Hollywood and Fairchild’s litigation history, and narrowly tailoring the prohibition on future filings. See id. (setting forth requirements for pre-filing review orders).
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Hollywood’s opposed motion for an order requiring appellees to re-serve the supplemental excerpts of record is denied. All other pending motions are granted. The Clerk will file Hollywood’s corrected reply brief, Hollywood’s supplemental brief, Fairchild’s supplemental brief, and Fairchild’s reply brief.
AFFIRMED.
