ORDER ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE'S FINDINGS
AND RECOMMENDATION
Defendants.
Before the Court are United States Magistrate Judge Timothy Cavan's
Findings and Recommendation filed on June 19, 2017. (Doc. 13). Judge Cavan
recommends that this Court grant Chandler's motion to remand.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l), the parties were required to file written
objections within 14 days of the filing of Judge Cavan's Findings and
Recommendation. No objections were filed. When neither party objects, this
Court reviews Judge Cavan's Findings and Recommendation for clear error.
McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313
(9th Cir. 1981 ). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm
conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d
1
422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000). After reviewing the Findings and Recommendation, this
Court does not find that Judge Cavan committed clear error.
IT IS ORDERED that the proposed Findings and Recommendation for
disposition of this matter entered by United States Magistrate Judge Cavan (Doc.
13) are ADOPTED IN FULL.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is remanded to Montana's
Seventh Judicial District Court in Richland County.
The Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter.
