REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Plaintiffs,
v.
TOYAMA TYRE CORP., LTD., a Japanese
company; TOYAMA TYRE CORP., LTD., a
Chinese company; HONG KONG TOYAMA
TYRE INT’L LTD., a Chinese company,

11
Defendants.

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. 28

21

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Nev. IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, the Court is not

22

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

23

Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district

24

court is not required to review a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation where no

25

objections have been filed. See, e.g., United States v. Reyna–Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1122 (9th

26

Cir. 2003).

27

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

28

Accordingly,
