LESLIE ANNE GEORGE,
Case No. 3:16-cv-00702-MMD-VPC
Plaintiff,
10
v.
11
RHONDA, et al.,
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
VALERIE P. COOKE
Defendants.
12
13
14
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
15
Judge Valerie P. Cooke (ECF No. 3) (“R&R”) relating to plaintiff’s application to proceed
16
in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and pro se complaint (ECF No. 1-1). Plaintiff had until March
17
14, 2017, to file and objection. (ECF No. 3.) To date, no objection to the R&R has been
18
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). Indeed,
26
the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a magistrate
27
judge’s report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See United
28
States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard of review
1
employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to which no
2
objections were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D.
3
Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the view that
4
district courts are not required to review “any issue that is not the subject of an objection.”).
5
Thus, if there is no objection to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, then the court may
6
accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d at 1226
7
(accepting, without review, a magistrate judge’s recommendation to which no objection
8
was filed).
9
Nevertheless, this Court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to
10
determine whether to adopt Magistrate Judge Cook’s R&R. Upon reviewing the R&R and
11
proposed complaint, 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 Recommendation
14
of Magistrate Judge Valerie P. Cooke (ECF No. 3) is accepted and adopted in its entirety.
15
It is ordered that plaintiff’s application to proceed in form pauperis (ECF No. 1) is
16
granted.
17
It is further ordered that the Clerk detach and file the complaint (ECF No. 1-1).
18
It is further ordered that the complaint is dismissed with prejudice.
19
The Clerk is directed to close this case.
20
DATED THIS 27th day of April 2017.
