The Court reviews de novo the objected-to portions of the Report and Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). The Court reviews for clear error the unobjected-to portions of the Report and Recommendation. Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999); see also Conley v. Crabtree, 14 F. Supp. 2d 1203, 1204 (D. Or. 1998). The Court notes that Pima County argues that Plaintiff has improperly attempted to insert new arguments and claims that were not contained in either the Third Amended Complaint, were not at issue during discovery and discovery has closed, or were not properly raised before Magistrate Judge Guerin. See Pima County Response to Objections at 4-7. The Court agrees; these new issues are procedurally improper and otherwise do nothing to undermine the analysis leading to the dismissal of this case as discussed in Report and Recommendation.
