GABRIEL JURADO,
Case No. 3:16-cv-00552-MMD-VPC
Plaintiff,
10
v.
11
DAVE WALLS, et al.,
ORDER ADOPTING AND ACCEPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF
MAGISTRATE JUDGE
VALERIE P. COOKE
12
Defendants.
13
14
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
15
Judge Valerie P. Cooke (ECF No. 14) (“R&R”). Plaintiff was allowed until December 14,
16
2017, to file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been filed.
17
This Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
18
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party
19
timely objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, then the court is
20
required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and
21
recommendation] to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party fails
22
to object, however, the court is not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue
23
that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
24
Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a
25
magistrate judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See
26
United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard
27
of review employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to
28
which no objections were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219,
1
1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the
2
view that district courts are not required to review “any issue that is not the subject of an
3
objection.”). Thus, if there is no objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, then
4
the court may accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F.
5
Supp. 2d at 1226 (accepting, without review, a magistrate judge’s recommendation to
6
which no objection was filed).
7
Nevertheless, this Court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to
8
determine whether to adopt Magistrate Judge Cooke’s R&R. The R&R recommends that
9
this action be dismissed with prejudice based upon Plaintiff’s failure to file an amended
10
complaint that remedies the defects identified in the Court’s order. After reviewing the
11
filings, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation.
12
It
is
therefore
ordered,
adjudged
and
decreed
that
the
Report
and
13
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Valerie P. Cooke (ECF No.14) is accepted and
14
adopted in its entirety.
15
It is ordered that the that this action is dismissed with prejudice based on plaintiff’s
16
failure to file an amended complaint in compliance with the court’s screening order (ECF
17
No. 12).
18
It is further ordered that the Clerk enter judgment accordingly and close this case.
19
DATED THIS 8th day of January 2018.
