v.
Case No. 3:14-cv-00353-MMD-WGC
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
WILLIAM GL. COBB
KENDALL COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.
14
15
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
16
Judge William G. Cobb (dkt. no. 4) (“R&R”) relating to plaintiff’s application to proceed in
17
forma pauperis (dkt. no. 1) and pro se complaint (dkt. no. 1-1). Plaintiffs had until
18
September 12, 2014, to file an objection. No objection to the R&R 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).
26
Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a
27
magistrate judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See
28
United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard
1
of review employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to
2
which no objections were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219,
3
1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the
4
view that district courts are not required to review “any issue that is not the subject of an
5
objection.”). Thus, if there is no objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, then
6
the court may accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F.
7
Supp. 2d at 1226 (accepting, without review, a magistrate judge’s recommendation to
8
which no objection was filed).
9
Nevertheless, this Court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to
10
determine whether to adopt Magistrate Judge Cobb’s R&R. Upon reviewing the R&R
11
and Plaintiff’s filings, this Court finds good cause to accept and adopt the Magistrate
12
Judge’s R&R in full.
13
It
is
therefore
ordered,
adjudged
and
decreed
that
the
Report
and
14
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge William G. Cobb (dkt. no. 4) be accepted and
15
adopted in its entirety.
16
17
It is ordered that plaintiff’s application to proceed in form pauperis (dkt. no. 1) is
granted; plaintiff shall not be required to pay an initial fee.
18
It is further ordered that the Clerk shall detach and file the complaint (dkt. no. 1-1).
19
It is further ordered that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
20
The Clerk is directed to close this case.
21
DATED THIS 1st day of October 2014.
