Before the Court for consideration is the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 7) of the

19

Honorable Carl W. Hoffman, United States Magistrate Judge, entered December 1, 2017.

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

1

by December 15, 2017. No objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed the record in this

2

case and concurs with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendations.
