Does a failure to raise an issue on appeal constitute a waiver of that issue?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Han v. General American Life Ins. Co., 978 F.2d 715 (9th Cir. 1992):
1 The failure to raise an issue on appeal constitutes a waiver of that issue. Wilcox v. Commissioner, 848 F.2d 1007, 1008 n. 2 (9th Cir.1988). Here, the only issue Han addresses in his brief on appeal is his contention that the district court should have remanded his case to state court. Thus, we do not reach the merits of the district court's dismissal of Han's action pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). See id.
