Patricia Brown,
Case No.: 2:14-cv-00616-JAD-CWH

Plaintiff
v.
Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social
Security Administration,
Defendant

On April 23, 2014, Magistrate Judge Hoffman entered an order dismissing plaintiff’s
complaint without prejudice and with leave to amend. Doc. 3. He ordered plaintiff to file an
amended complaint correcting the deficiencies noted in the dismissal order within 30 days. Id.
Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint. Accordingly, on June 9, 2014, Magistrate Judge
Hoffman entered findings and a recommendation that recommends that this court dismiss this action
with prejudice and close this case. Doc. 4. Plaintiff had 14 days to object to the recommendation;
she filed no objection. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation
unless objections are filed.” Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003). See
also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121
(9th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, and with good cause appearing,
It is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Hoffman’s findings and recommendation
[Doc. 4] are ADOPTED;

The court also notes that the Findings and Recommendation were mailed to plaintiff but
returned undelivered. See Doc. 6. Nevada Local Special Rule 2-2 provides, “[t]he plaintiff shall
immediately file with the Court written notification of any change of address. The notification must
include proof of service upon each opposing party or the party’s attorney. Failure to comply with this
Rule may result in dismissal of the action with prejudice.” Nev. Loc. Special R. 2-2. Plaintiff’s
failure to immediately file with the Court a notification of her change of address is an additional
justification for dismissal with prejudice.
