(Dkt. No. 148.) On August 24, 2010, plaintiffs filed untimely objections to the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations (Dkt. No. 166) and, on September 2, 2010, defendants Ryan Arbuckle and Burrows Security Force filed a response to plaintiffs' objections (Dkt. No. 174). Despite the untimely nature of plaintiffs' objections, the undersigned has considered those objections out of an abundance of caution. This court reviews de novo those portions of the proposed findings of fact to which objection has been made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982).
