ORDER

15

Pending before the Court is Magistrate Judge Bridget S. Bade’s Report and

16

Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment (Doc. 13) be

17

granted and that the Court enter an order directing that the domain name registrar, GoDaddy,

18

transfer the domain name danfriedkin.com to Plaintiff. (Doc. 16.) Plaintiff filed a response

19

and a supplemental response to the Report and Recommendation asking that the

20

recommendation be amended to order Bigrock Solutions Limited (“Bigrock”), Verisign, Inc.,

21

and GoDaddy, LLC (“GoDaddy”) to effect the transfer. (Docs. 17, 18.) Magistrate Judge

22

Bade then filed an Amended Report and Recommendation, amending its recommendations.

23

(Doc. 19.)

24
25
26

After considering the Report and Recommendation and the Amended Report and
Recommendation, the Court will grant all of Magistrate Judge Bade’s recommendations.
STANDARD OF REVIEW

27

The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or

28

recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. Sullivan,

1

923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have fourteen days from the service of a copy

2

of the Magistrate’s recommendation within which to file specific written objections to the

3

Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s

4

recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge’s

5

factual findings and waives all objections to those factual findings on appeal. See Turner v.

6

Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s legal

7

conclusion “is a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an

8

issue on appeal.” Id.
DISCUSSION

9
10

Having reviewed Magistrate Judge Bade’s Report and Recommendation, Plaintiff’s

11

Responses, and the Amended Report and Recommendation, the Court hereby approves,

12

incorporates, and adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and the

13

Amended Report and Recommendation, which modified only the recommendations of the

14

initial Report and Recommendation.
CONCLUSION

15
16

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth,

17

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED approving, incorporating, and adopting the Report and

18

Recommendation and the Amended Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge

19

Bridget S. Bade. (Docs. 16, 19.)
