IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, vs. CONLY HOBSON, et al, Defendants.
) ) ) Case No. CV07-282-S-EJL ) ) ORDER ON REPORT AND ) RECOMMENDATION ) ) ) )
Defendants have filed numerous motions which have been referred to United States Magistrate Judge Candy W. Dale. On July 7, 2009, Magistrate Judge Dale issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court deny all the Defendants' motions. Standards Any party may challenge a magistrate judge's proposed recommendation regarding a dispositive motion by filing written objections within ten days after being served with a copy of the Report and Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district court must then "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." Id. The district court may accept, reject, or modify in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations made by the magistrate. Id.; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Discussion Defendants filed a Response to the Report and Recommendation that the Court will treat as objections. Having reviewed this submission, the Court finds that the arguments raised therein are without merit and fail to address the reasons for denial of the motions as outlined by the magistrate judge. Therefore, after a de novo review, the Court will adopt the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation. See Wang v. Masaitis, 416 F.3d 992, 1000 & n.13 (9th Cir. 2005).
