MEMORANDUM

Stephanie O’Connor appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her diversity action arising from foreclosure proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the existence of subject matter jurisdiction. Schnabel v. Lui, 302 F.3d 1023, 1029 (9th Cir.2002). We affirm.

The district court had subject matter jurisdiction because, contrary to O’Con-nor’s contention, the amount in controversy was satisfied. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332 (setting forth requirements for diversity jurisdiction); Chapman v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 651 F.3d 1039 , 1045 n. 2 (9th Cir.2011) (per curiam) (in an action seeking injunctive relief, the “amount in controversy is measured by the value of the object of the litigation” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

O’Connor does not challenge the district court’s dismissal for failure to prosecute. See Greenwood v. FAA, 28 F.3d 971, 977 (9th Cir.1994) (“We review only issues which are argued specifically and distinctly in a party’s opening brief.”). We do not consider O’Connor’s challenges to the district court’s interlocutory orders. See Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1386 (9th Cir.1996)…
