UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO
NATHAN KERBS and HOLLY KERBS,
Case No. 4:12-CV-00178-EJL-CWD
Plaintiffs,
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION
v.
MADISON COUNTY, a political
subdivision of the State of Idaho, and
MADISON COUNTY SHERIFF’S
DEPARTMENT, a political subdivision
of Madison County, Idaho,
Defendants.
On July 25, 2014, United States Magistrate Judge Candy W. Dale issued a Report
and Recommendation (Dkt. 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.
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
(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 (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 the Report and Recommendation
(Dkt. 34) shall be INCORPORATED by reference and ADOPTED in its entirety.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Attorney’s Fees
(Dkt. 27) is DENIED.
DATED: September 4, 2014
Honorable Edward J. Lodge
U. S. District Judge
