The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wardlow, 951 F.2d 365 (9th Cir. 1991):
Wardlow also contends that the officers impermissibly investigated Wardlow by using race as a factor in determining whether he was a drug courier. Wardlow did not argue this in the district court. Therefore, we decline to address this issue because none of the exceptions to our general rule against reviewing issues for the first time on appeal has been met. Jovanovich v. United States, 813 F.2d 1035, 1037 (9th Cir.1987).
