On January 10, 2018, defendants Parlier Unified School District and Gerardo Alvarez
20
(collectively, the “District Defendants”) moved to enforce a settlement agreement with plaintiff
21
Raul Villanueva and requested the award of monetary sanctions in the amount of $4,891.50.
22
(Doc. No. 161). The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28
23
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302.
24
On April 3, 2018, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations
25
recommending that the motion to enforce the settlement agreement be granted, the motion for
26
sanctions be denied, Plaintiff Villanueva be compelled to execute a release in accordance with his
27
oral agreement as expressed in open court, and that Villanueva’s claims against the District
28
Defendants be dismissed with prejudice. (Doc. No. 166). The parties were provided an
1
1
opportunity to file objections to the findings and recommendations within fourteen days. The
2
fourteen-day period has expired, and no objections were filed.
3
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302, this court
4
has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court
5
finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
6
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
7
1. The District Defendants’ motion to enforce the settlement agreement (Doc. No. 161) is
8

GRANTED;
2. The District Defendants’ request for imposition of sanctions against Plaintiff
10

12
13
agreement as stated by him in open court; and
4. Plaintiff Villanueva’s claims against the District Defendants are dismissed with
14
15
16
prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
