MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Reed v. Ohio Savings Bank, 20-55217 (9th Cir. 2021):

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Reed's request for lis pendens is denied.
