was a pretrial detainee. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Donell v. Kowell, 533 F.3d 762, 769 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Perez’s Fourth Amendment claim related to the December 2016 strip search because Perez failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the strip search was unreasonable. See Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 559 (1979) (setting forth factors to be considered when evaluating whether search was unreasonable under Fourth Amendment); Johnson v. Neilson (In re Slatkin), 525 F.3d 805, 811 (9th Cir. 2008) (“[A] summary judgment proceeding does not deprive the losing party of its Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.”).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Perez’s motion “for review of case dismissal” (Docket Entry No. 10) is denied as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
