Case No. 2:17-CV-1821 JCM (NJK)
Plaintiff(s),

ORDER

v.
MICHAEL GERARD TYSON,

11

Defendant(s).

12
13

Presently before the court is Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and recommendation

14

(“R&R”). (ECF No. 24). No objections have been filed, and the deadline for filing objections has

15

since passed.

16

This 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). Where a party timely objects

18

to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, then the court is required to “make a de novo

19

determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which objection is made.”

20

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

21

Where a party fails to object, however, the court is not required to conduct “any review at

22

all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149

23

(1985). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a

24

magistrate judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See United

25

States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard of review

26

employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to which no

27

objections were made).

2

Magistrate Judge Koppe recommends that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed without
prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (ECF No. 24).

3

Plaintiff has not objected to the report and recommendation. Nevertheless, this court finds

4

it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to determine whether to adopt the recommendation of

5

the magistrate judge. Upon reviewing the recommendation and underlying briefs, the court finds

6

that good cause appears to adopt the magistrate judge’s findings.

7

Accordingly,

8

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Magistrate Judge

9

Koppe’s report and recommendation (ECF No. 24) be, and the same hereby is, ADOPTED in its

10
11
12

entirety.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint be, and the same hereby is,
DISMISSED without prejudice.

13

The clerk shall enter judgment accordingly and close the case.

DATED June 18, 2018.
