Since the inception of this slip-and-fall case, plaintiff Jackie Greene has consistently refused

11

to comply with her discovery obligations.1 After numerous failed attempts to meet and confer with

12

plaintiff’s counsel regarding Greene’s discovery obligations, defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. moved

13

for discovery sanctions under FRCP 37.2 Following a hearing, Magistrate Judge Koppe entered a

14

report recommending that I grant Wal-Mart’s motion for discovery sanctions and dismiss this action

15

in its entirety under FRCP 37(d).3 Objections to Judge Koppe’s report and recommendation were

16

due by February 12, 2016. Greene has not filed an objection or requested an extension to do so.

17

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

18

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

20

Cir. 2003).

21

Accordingly, and with good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and

22

DECREED that Magistrate Judge Koppe’s Report and Recommendation [ECF 29] is ADOPTED;

23

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant’s Motion for Discovery Sanctions [ECF 15] is

24

GRANTED; this action is DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor
