UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO

ROBERT S. SIZEMORE, an individual,
Case No. 2:10-CV-0050-EJL
Plaintiff,
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION

v.
SHOSHONE COUNTY, a municipal
entity located within the State of Idaho;
CHARLES REYNALDS aka “CHUCK”
REYNALDS both individually and in his
official capacity as Sheriff of Shoshone
County, Idaho; JOHN AND JANE DOES
I through X, unknown staff members
employed at the Shoshone County Jail,
Defendants.

On June 20, 2011, United States Magistrate Judge Larry M. Boyle issued a Report
and Recommendation (Docket No. 34) in this matter. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1),
the parties had fourteen days in which to file written objections to the Report and
Recommendation. No objections were filed by the parties.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION- 1

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the findings and recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”
Moreover, this Court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report
which objection is made.” Id. In United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th
Cir. 2003), the court interpreted the requirements of 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(C):
The statute [28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C)] makes it clear that the district judge
must review the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations de novo
if objection is made, but not otherwise. As the Peretz Court instructed, “to
the extent de novo review is required to satisfy Article III concerns, it need
not be exercised unless requested by the parties.” Peretz, 501 U.S. at 939,
111 S.Ct. 2661 (internal citation omitted). Neither the Constitution nor the
statute requires a district judge to review, de novo, findings and
recommendations that the parties themselves accept as correct. See
Ciapponi, 77 F.3d at 1251 (“Absent an objection or request for review by
the defendant, the district court was not required to engage in any more
formal review of the plea proceeding.”); see also Peretz, 501 U.S. at
937-39, 111 S.Ct. 2661 (clarifying that de novo review not required for
Article III purposes unless requested by the parties) . . . .
See also Wang v. Masaitis, 416 F.3d 993, 1000 & n.13 (9th Cir. 2005). In this case, no
objections were filed so the Court need not conduct a de novo determination of the Report
and Recommendation. The Court did, however, review the Report and Recommendation
and the record in this matter and finds the Report and Recommendation to be wellfounded in the law based on the facts of this particular case.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and
Recommendation (Docket No. 34) shall be INCORPORATED by reference and
ADOPTED in its entirety.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION- 2

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Summary
Judgment (Docket No. 34) is DENIED.
Jury trial remains as scheduled on September 7, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. in
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

DATED: July 14, 2011

U. S. District Judge
