Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii Micah W.J. Smith, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 26, 2026** Before: S.R. THOMAS, MILLER, and H.A. THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

Chapter 7 debtor Sarah Margaret Taylor appeals pro se from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of her appeal. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We affirm.

Because Taylor fails to address the bankruptcy court’s grounds for dismissal

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). of her appeal in her opening brief, we do not consider her challenge to that decision. See Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (explaining that “we will not consider any claims that were not actually argued in appellant’s opening brief”); Acosta-Huerta v. Estelle, 7 F.3d 139, 144 (9th Cir. 1992) (noting that issues not supported by argument in pro se appellant’s opening brief are deemed abandoned).

All pending requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
