IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Christine M. Arguello Civil Action No. 08-cv-02472-CMA-BNB JAMES FRANCIS SORENSEN, Plaintiff, v. MS. RABLE, Acting Dentist, and MS. LOHMAN, Acting Dental Technician, Defendant. ORDER AFFIRMING AUGUST 19, 2009 RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE This matter is before the Court on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 11). The Court referred the Motion to the Magistrate Judge for a Recommendation on February 9, 2009. (See Doc. # 12.) The Magistrate Judge issued a Recommendation on August 19, 2009 (Doc. # 21). The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court grant Defendants' Motion. The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). The Recommendation advised the parties that specific written objections were due within ten (10) days after being served with a copy of the Recommendation. Despite this advisement, neither party filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation. "In the absence of timely objection, the district court may review a magistrate . . . [judge's] report under any standard it deems appropriate." Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir. 1991) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985) (stating that "[i]t does not appear that

Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings"). Applying this standard, the Court is satisfied that the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is sound and that there is no clear error on the face of the record. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 21) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED; it is FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 11) is GRANTED; and it is FURTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. DATED: September 11 , 2009 BY THE COURT:
