The following excerpt is from Wake v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., D.C. No. 2:09-cv-03036-JPH, No. 10-35681 (9th Cir. 2011):
Wake contends that these opinions do not distinguish between her RFC with and without her substance abuse limitations. However, Wake did not challenge these opinions before the district court and, therefore, waived this argument on appeal. See Sandgathe v. Chater, 108 F.3d 978, 980 (9th Cir. 1997).
