BRUD ROSSMANN,
Case No. 2:17-cv-02953-MMD-VCF
Plaintiff,
10
v.
11
ELAINE DUKE, et al.,
ORDER ADOPTING AND ACCEPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF
MAGISTRATE JUDGE
CAM FERENBACH
12
Defendants.
13
14
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
15
Judge Cam Ferenbach (ECF No. 38) (“R&R”) relating to Plaintiff’s application to proceed
16
in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and complaint (ECF No. 1-1). Plaintiff had until December
17
26, 2017, to file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been filed.1
18
This Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
19
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party
20
timely objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, then the court is
21
required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and
22
recommendation] to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party fails
23
to object, however, the court is not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue
24
that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
25
Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a
26
magistrate judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See
27
28
1The
last two documents that the Court mailed to Plaintiff (Advisory Letter (ECF
No. 2) and R&R (ECF No. 3)) were returned as undeliverable. (ECF Nos. 4, 5.)
1
United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard
2
of review employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to
3
which no objections were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219,
4
1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the
5
view that district courts are not required to review “any issue that is not the subject of an
6
objection.”). Thus, if there is no objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, then
7
the court may accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F.
8
Supp. 2d at 1226 (accepting, without review, a magistrate judge’s recommendation to
9
which no objection was filed).
10
Nevertheless, this Court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to
11
determine whether to adopt Magistrate Judge’s R&R, recommending dismissal for lack
12
of jurisdiction. Upon reviewing the R&R and records in this case, this Court finds good
13
cause to adopt the Magistrate Judge’s R&R in full.
14
It
is
therefore
ordered,
adjudged
and
decreed
that
the
Report
and
15
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach (ECF No. 3) is accepted and
16
adopted in its entirety.
17
It is ordered that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
18
It is further ordered that Rossmann’s application to proceed in forma pauperis
19
20
(ECF No. 1) is denied as moot
