Matthew R. Swanson,

Plaintiff,

v.
No. 1:23-cv-00006-KJM-KJN
ORDER
(ECF Nos. 32, 46.)
Justin R. Harrison, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
17
On January 17, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations (ECF
18
No. 46), which were served on the parties, which contained notice that any objections to the
19
findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen (14) days. No objections were
20
filed.
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States,
21
22
602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed
23
de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law
24
by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court
25
. . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be
26
supported by the record and by the proper analysis.
