TYRONE EVERETT PAYNE,
CV 16-42-M-DLC-JCL
Plaintiff,
ORDER

vs.
GORDON SCHMILL,
Defendant.

United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch entered findings and
recommendations in this case on April 26, 2016, recommending that Plaintiff
Tyrone Everett Payne's ("Payne") Complaint be dismissed for failing to state
claim upon which relief may be granted. Payne did not object to the findings and
recommendations, and so has waived the right to de novo review thereof. 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(C). This Court reviews for clear error those findings and
recommendations to which no party objects. See McDonnell Douglas Corp. v.
Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981); Thomas v.
Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). 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 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted).

Having reviewed the findings and recommendations, the Court finds no
clear error in Judge Lynch's conclusions that Defendant Schmill was justified in
conducting the September 9, 2015 traffic stop at issue in this case, and that Payne
failed to adequately state claims for malicious prosecution, invasion of privacy,
and illegal search and seizure.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Judge Lynch's findings and
recommendations (Doc. 5) are ADOPTED IN FULL. This case is DISMISSED.
The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this matter and enter judgment pursuant to Rule
58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall have the docket
reflect that the Court certifies, pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules
of Appellate Procedure, that any appeal of this decision would not be taken in
good faith.
