2 In the Appellant's Opening Brief, Franceschi alleges violations of his Fourth Amendment freedom from unlawful seizures. Franceschi did not initiate this claim in his original complaint and thus, we do not have jurisdiction to address this allegation. See United States v. Flores-Payon, 942 F.2d 556, 558 (9th Cir.1991).
