15
Pending before the Court are Petitioner’s Civil Rights Complaint and United
16
States Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”).
17
Docs. 1, 11. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the Complaint without
18
prejudice for failure to effect service pursuant to Rule 4(m).
19
Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the
20
R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to
21
obtain review of the R&R. Id. at 3 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72;
22
United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
Doc. 11 at 3.
The
23
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
24
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
25
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
26
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
27
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
28
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
1
taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss the Complaint without prejudice. See
2
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in
3
whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ.
4
P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended
5
disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with
6
instructions.”).
