IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
PORTLAND DIVISION
ANTHONY STEVEN WRIGHT,
Plaintiff,
No. 3:10-cv-06118-PK
v.
OPINION AND ORDER
CYNTHIA MARIE BREWER, et al.,
Defendants.
MOSMAN, J.,
On November 30, 2011, Magistrate Judge Papak issued his Findings and Recommendation
(“F&R”) [277] in the above-captioned case providing several recommendations with regard to
motions filed by both parties, as detailed below. Plaintiff filed objections [299]. I adopt the
F&R as my own opinion.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
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 of 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 is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal
1 – OPINION AND ORDER
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).
DISCUSSION
Mr. Wright makes two objections to the F&R. First, he argues that Magistrate Judge
Papak incorrectly stated that there is no indication in the record that plaintiff ever formally noticed
any of the contemplated depositions with regard to Magistrate Judge Papak’s August 11, 2011,
Order [198]. This issue is of no consequence, however, because plaintiff no longer seeks to
depose the witnesses. Second, plaintiff argues that Magistrate Judge Papak erred by stating that
plaintiff has filed no opposition to Ms. Brewer’s Motion for Summary Judgment [243]. This
issue is similarly of no consequence because Magistrate Judge Papak noted that plaintiff was not
properly served with the motion at issue.
CONCLUSION
Upon review, I ADOPT Magistrate Judge Papak’s F&R [277] as my own opinion.
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel [203] is GRANTED; within thirty days, defendant shall respond to
plaintiff’s subject discovery requests and shall reimburse plaintiff's costs incurred in connection
with bringing this motion in the amount of $17.38. Plaintiff’s construed Motion for
Reconsideration [226] is DENIED AS MOOT. Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave [229] is DENIED
AS MOOT, and the clerk of court should return the subject proposed motion and supporting
materials to plaintiff. Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave [232] is also DENIED AS MOOT, and the
clerk of court should similarly return the subject proposed motion and supporting materials to
plaintiff. Plaintiff’s construed Motion for Sanctions [234] is DENIED. Defendant is ordered to
