Filing
74
OPINION AND ORDER: Upon review, I agree with Judge Acostas recommendation, and I ADOPT the F&R 71 as my own opinion. Signed on 2/5/14 by Judge Michael W. Mosman. (dls)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
PORTLAND DIVISION
ORLANDO JOHNQUIL McCRAE,
No. 2:12-cv-00359-AC
Plaintiff,
OPINION AND ORDER
v.
G. RANSIER, S. FRANKE, J. BURCHETT,
individually and in their official capacities,
Defendants.
MOSMAN, J.,
On January 15, 2014, Magistrate Judge Acosta issued his Findings and Recommendation
(“F&R”) [71] in the above-captioned case, recommending that the Defendants’ motion for
summary judgment [48] be GRANTED in full. Plaintiff did not object to the F&R.
DISCUSSION
The magistrate judge makes only recommendations to the court, to which any party may
file written objections. The court is not bound by the recommendations of the magistrate judge,
but retains responsibility for making the final determination. The court is generally required to
make a de novo determination regarding those portions of the report or specified findings or
recommendation as to which an objection is made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). However, the court
1 – OPINION AND ORDER
is not required to review, de novo or under any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of
the magistrate judge as to those portions of the F&R to which no objections are addressed. See
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121
(9th Cir. 2003). While the level of scrutiny under which I am required to review the F&R
depends on whether or not objections have been filed, in either case, I am free to accept, reject,
or modify any part of the F&R. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).
Upon review, I agree with Judge Acosta’s recommendation, and I ADOPT the F&R [71]
as my own opinion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this
5th
day of February, 2014.
