ORDER
Emil Botezatu, et al.,
13
Defendants.
14
15
Pending before the Court are Defendant Emil Botezatu’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc.
16
17) and United States Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle’s Report and Recommendation
17
(Doc. 36) (“R&R”), which recommends granting the Motion and dismiss the Complaint
18
for lack of jurisdiction. (Doc. 36 at 7.) The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they
19
had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections
20
could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. Id. at 8 (citing 28
21
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a), 6(b) and 72; United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328
22
F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
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 grants the Motion to Dismiss the Complaint
2
for lack of jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may
3
accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by
4
the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or
5
modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the
6
magistrate judge with instructions.”).
7
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Judge Boyle’s R&R (Doc. 36) is
8
ACCEPTED. Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction (Doc. 17) is
9
granted and the remainder of the Motion is denied as moot. The Clerk of Court is
10
11
directed to terminate this action and enter judgement accordingly.
