Case No. 2:14-cv-01718-RFB-NJK

Before the Court for consideration is the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 19) of the
Honorable Nancy J. Koppe, United States Magistrate Judge, entered January 22, 2016.

16

A district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or

17

recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A party may file specific

18

written objections to the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge. 28 U.S.C.

19

§ 636(b)(1); Local Rule IB 3-2(a). When written objections have been filed, the district court is

20

required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed

21

findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Local

22

Rule IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, a district court is not required to conduct

23

“any review,” de novo or otherwise, of the report and recommendations of a magistrate judge.

24

Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2(a), objections were due

25

by February 8, 2016. No objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed the record in this

26

case and concurs with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation.
