Reformatted:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 70.39.176.44/24] } {
        log local0. "Blocking [IP::client_addr]"
        reject
    }
}

This should certainly block any request from client IP 70.39.176.44. By "Events Request Log", are you referring to the LTM log that this iRule would be logging to? As in you're not seeing this log statement?
