MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
AND ORDER

15

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Complaint. (Doc. 1.) On March 1, 2018, the

16

Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court. (Doc. 21.) To date,

17

no objections have been filed.
STANDARD OF REVIEW

18
19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal.”

28

Id.

1

DISCUSSION

2

Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and no

3

Objections having been made, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts the Magistrate

4

Judge’s Report and Recommendation. Plaintiff failed to prosecute his Complaint. Magistrate

5

Judge Willett advised Plaintiff that “[f]ailure to timely file the Motion for Entering Default

6

Judgment shall result in dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute.” (Doc. 21 at 2.) Despite

7

the Order and its warning that a failure to comply would result in a dismissal pursuant to Fed.

8

R. Civ. P. 41(b), Plaintiff did not comply.

9
10
11

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation
of Magistrate Judge Willett. (Doc. 21.)

12

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed without

13

prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment

14

accordingly and terminate this case.
