for Exoneration from and/or Limitation

Case No. 3:24-cv-00044-SLG-MMS

ORDER RE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court at Docket 23 is Petitioner Billy Anderson’s Motion for
Default Judgment. No response was filed to the motion. The motion was referred
to the Honorable Magistrate Judge Matthew M. Scoble. At Docket 25, Judge
Scoble issued his Report and Recommendation, in which he recommended that
the motion be granted. No objections to the Report and Recommendation were
filed.
The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). That
statute provides that a district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in
part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 1 A court is
to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the magistrate judge’s report
or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” 2
However, § 636(b)(1) does not “require district court review of a magistrate’s

factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither
party objects to those findings.” 3
The magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the Motion for
Default Judgment. The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and
agrees with its analysis.

Accordingly, the Court adopts the Report and

Recommendation, and IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for Default Judgment is
GRANTED and the Court hereby directs the Clerk of Court to enter a default
judgment against every person and/or entity that has not filed a claim or an answer
in this action.
DATED this 26th day of September, 2024, at Anchorage, Alaska.
