John Norman,

Defendant.

Magistrate Judge Leen entered a Report and Recommendation on March 20, 2015,

10
11

recommending that I dismiss this case with prejudice due to plaintiff’s willful failure to comply with

12

the court’s orders.1 The R&R recites a long history of failures or refusals to comply with orders and

13

appear for conferences and hearings.2
I now add to that list the failure of plaintiff or her counsel to appear for calendar call. Trial of

14
15

this matter was scheduled to begin on April 14, 2015, and the calendar call for that trial was

16

yesterday at 1:30 p.m. Pro se defendant John Norman timely appeared and announced ready for trial.

17

Although I waited until 2:00 p.m. to commence the hearing, neither plaintiff nor her attorney

18

appeared for calendar call, and I vacated the trial date.3

19

“[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless

20

objections are filed.”4 The deadline for objections to Magistrate Judge Leen’s R&R was April 6,

21

2015; no objections were filed.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Leen’s Report and
