On September 22, 2021, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein
20

which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to
22
the findings and recommendations were to be filed within ten days. (ECF No. 51.) Both parties

25
Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the
