On October 7, 2020 the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations (ECF No.

18

29), which were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections to the

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen (14) days. No objections were

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir.

24

1983).

The court has reviewed the applicable legal standards and, good cause appearing,

26

concludes that it is appropriate to adopt the findings and recommendations in full. Accordingly,

27

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations (ECF No. 29) are ADOPTED IN FULL;
