   MEMORANDUM

Gerald J. Wilson, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm,

In his opening brief, Wilson failed to challenge any of the district court’s grounds for dismissal of the operative complaint, and therefore Wilson waived any such challenge. See Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003) (“[W]e will not consider any claims that were not actually argued in appellant’s opening brief.”); Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“[Arguments not raised by a party m its opening brief are deemed waived.”).

We reject as without merit Wilson’s contentions regarding his alleged failure to receive the magistrate’s report and recommendation.

Wilson’s request for appointment of counsel and request for sanctions, set forth in his opening and reply briefs, are denied. Wilson’s request for in forma pauperis status, set forth in his reply brief, is denied as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
