The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Saye, 60 F.3d 835 (9th Cir. 1995):
Saye fails to make any arguments regarding the denial of his motion for clarification and request for a jury trial. Because he has not raised any arguments on appeal regarding those issues, any arguments he might have made are deemed abandoned. See Leer v. Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 634 (9th Cir. 1988) ("[i]ssues raised in a brief which are not supported by argument are deemed abandoned"). Accordingly, the district court's orders are affirmed.
