MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
AND ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint alleging direct copyright
infringement, contributory copyright infringement, vicarious copyright infringement and
inducement of copyright infringement. (Doc. 6.) This matter was assigned and litigated
before Magistrate Judge Lawrence O. Anderson. (Doc. 9.) On December 28, 2011,
Magistrate Judge Anderson filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court. (Doc. 42.)
To date, no objections have been filed.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
When reviewing a Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, this Court must
“make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is
made,” and “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see also Baxter
v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch.
Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983)). Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s
recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge’s
1
factual findings; the Court then may decide the dispositive motion on the applicable law.
2
Orand v. United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979) (citing Campbell v. United States
3
Dist. Court, 501 F.2d 196 (9th Cir. 1974)).
4
By failing to object to a Report and Recommendation, a party waives its right to
5
challenge the Magistrate Judge’s factual findings, but not necessarily the Magistrate Judge’s
6
legal conclusions. Baxter, 923 F.2d at 1394; see also Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455
7
(9th Cir. 1998) (failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s legal conclusion “is a factor to be
8
weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal”); Martinez v.
9
Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing McCall v. Andrus, 628 F.2d 1185, 1187
10
(9th Cir. 1980)).
DISCUSSION

12
