UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO
PHILLIP L. ANDERSON,
Case No. 4:12-CV-00486-EJL
Plaintiff,
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
AND RECOMMENDATION
v.
UNITED RECOVERY SYSTEMS, LP.,
Defendant.
The United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation in this
matter. (Dkt. 8.) 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 and the time for doing so has passed. Plaintiff has followed the
recommendation of Judge Boyle to file an Amended Complaint. Dkt. 10.
DISCUSSION
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.”
Where the parties object to a report and recommendation, this Court “shall make a de
novo determination of those portions of the report which objection is made.” Id. Where,
however, no objections are filed the district court need not conduct a de novo review. In
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION- 1
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). Furthermore, to
the extent that no objections are made, arguments to the contrary are waived. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72; 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (objections are waived if they are not filed within
fourteen days of service of the Report and Recommendation). “When no timely objection
is filed, the Court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the
record in order to accept the recommendation.” Advisory Committee Notes to Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72 (citing Campbell v. United States Dist. Court, 501 F.2d 196, 206 (9th
Cir.1974)).
In this case, no objections were filed so the Court is not required to conduct a de
novo determination of the Report and Recommendation. The Court has, however,
reviewed the Report and Recommendation and the record in this matter and finds no clear
error on the face of the record. Moreover, the Court finds the Report and
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION- 2
Recommendation is well-founded in the law based on the facts of this particular case and
this Court is in agreement with the same.
ORDER
NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 8) shall be INCORPORATED by
reference and ADOPTED in its entirety.
Plaintiff’s Motion to Seal In Forma Pauperis Documents (Dkt. 3) shall be
GRANTED. The Application (Dkt. 1) and the subsequent Application (Dkt. 9) shall be
SEALED.
Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Dkt. 1) shall be deemed
MOOT.
The Court adopts the recommendation to give Plaintiff thirty (30) days to file an
Amended Complaint. Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Dkt. 10) filed on August 1, 2013
is deemed timely filed and consistent with Judge Boyle’s recommendation to allow
amendment to see if Plaintiff could cure deficiencies. The Court takes no position on
whether or not the Amended Complaint has been properly served pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 4. The Court reminds Plaintiff that pro se litigants are held to same procedural rules as
counseled litigants. King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987).
The Amended Complaint (Dkt. 10) and the Application to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis (Dkt. 9) are referred to United States Magistrate Judge Larry M. Boyle for his
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION- 3
review. Judge Boyle shall conduct all necessary and proper proceedings pertaining
thereto. (Order of Reference, Dkt. 7.)
DATED: August 7, 2013
