Plaintiffs,
OPINION AND ORDER
v.
PETER PECSOK,
Defendant.

MOSMAN, J.,

On April 29, 2015, Magistrate Judge Acosta issued his Findings and Recommendation
(F&R) [30], recommending that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Attorney Fees [26] in the amount of
$3,276.00 and costs in the amount of $525.00 should be GRANTED. No objections to the
Findings and Recommendation were filed.
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 [30]
as my own opinion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this

24th

day of June, 2015.
