Case No. 2:17-cv-01284-MMD-NJK
Plaintiff,
v.
LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE
DEPARTMENT,
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF
MAGISTRATE JUDGE
NANCY J. KOPPE
Defendant.
14
15
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe’s Report and
16
Recommendation (“R&R” or “Recommendation”) (ECF No. 8), regarding Plaintiff’s
17
amended complaint (ECF No. 7). Plaintiff had until June 29, 2017, to file an objection to
18
the R&R. (ECF No. 8.) To date, no objection has been filed.
19
This Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
20
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party
21
timely objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, then the court is
22
required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and
23
recommendation] to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party fails
24
to object, however, the court is not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue
25
that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Indeed,
26
the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a magistrate
27
judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See United
28
States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard of review
1
employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to which no
2
objections were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D.
3
Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the view that
4
district courts are not required to review “any issue that is not the subject of an objection”).
5
Thus, if there is no objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, then the court may
6
accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d at 1226
7
(accepting, without review, a magistrate judge’s recommendation to which no objection
8
was filed).
9
Nevertheless, this Court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review in order
10
to determine whether to adopt the R&R. Upon review of the R&R and the amended
11
complaint in this case, the Court agrees with the R&R and will adopt it in full.
12
13
It is hereby ordered that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (ECF
No. 8) is accepted and adopted.
14
It is further ordered that this action is dismissed without prejudice.
15
The Clerk is directed to close this case.

DATED THIS 5th day of July 2017.
