-------------------------
Petitioner has also filed two Notices of Appeal. 3 Generally, the filing of a
notice of appeal divests a district court ofjurisdiction over those aspects of the
case involved in the appeal. Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459
U.S. 56, 58 (1982) (per curiam). "This transfer ofjurisdiction ... is not effected,
however, if a litigant files a notice of appeal from an unappealable order." Estate
a/Conners by Meredith v. O'Connor, 6 F.3d 656, 658 (9th Cir. 1993); Brown v.
United States Postal Serv., 860 F.2d 884, 886 (9th CiL 1988); Ruby v. Sec y 0/ the
Navy, 365 F.2d 385, 389 (9th Cir. 1966) (en bane). No finality attaches to Judge
Ostby's Findings and Recommendation unless and until they are adopted by this
Court. Accordingly, the Notices of Appeal will be disregarded as premature, and
this Court will proceed as if they had not been filed.
Upon de novo review of the record, I find no error in Magistrate Judge
Ostby'S Findings and Recommendation and adopt it in full.
