Before the Court are United States Magistrate Judge Timothy Cavan's
Findings and Recommendation filed on June 13, 2017. (Doc. 4). Judge Cavan
recommends that this Court dismiss this matter without prejudice pursuant to Local

Pursuant to 28 U.S. C. § 63 6(b )( 1), 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.

(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

disposition of this matter entered by United States Magistrate Judge Cavan (Doc.
4) are ADOPTED IN FULL.
