McNally v. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 26 2026 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT MICHELLE McNALLY, No. 25-1033 D.C. No. 2:23-cv-08094-MEMF-PD Plaintiff - Appellant, v. MEMORANDUM* LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER; POWER- PERMISSIBLY SELF-INSURED, Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 22, 2026** Before: CANBY, BENNETT, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

Michelle McNally appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing her action to enforce a state decision regarding workers’ compensation benefits.

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

* 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).

Because McNally does not challenge the district court’s ground for dismissal of her action in her opening brief, we do not consider 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), as amended (Oct. 8, 1993) (explaining that issues not supported by argument in pro se appellant’s opening brief are deemed abandoned).

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
