Case No.: 2:13-cv-2062-GMN-NJK
ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States

11

Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe, (ECF No. 33), which states that the pending Motion for

12

Default Judgment and Permanent Injunction, (ECF No. 31), should be granted.

13

A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a

14

United States Magistrate Judge made pursuant to Local Rule IB 1-4. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B);

15

D. Nev. R. IB 3-2. Upon the filing of such objections, the Court must make a de novo

16

determination of those portions to which objections are made. Id. The Court may accept, reject,

17

or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge.

18

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Nev. IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, the Court is

19

not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an

20

objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized

21

that a district court is not required to review a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation

22

where no objections have been filed. See, e.g., United States v. Reyna–Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,

23

1122 (9th Cir. 2003).

24

Here, no objections were filed, and the deadline to do so has passed.

25

Accordingly,
