FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
DAVID RAY ARNOLD,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 3:18-cv-00025-TC
ORDER
v.
ARAMARK CORPORATION; SANDI
DOE, Aramark Representative; JOHN
DOE #1; JOHN DOE #2; JOHN DOE #3,
Defendants.
Michael H. Simon, District Judge.
United States Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin issued Findings and Recommendation in
this case on November 13, 2018. ECF 23. Magistrate Judge Coffin recommended that Plaintiff’s
complaint be DISMISSED with prejudice. No party has filed objections.
Under the Federal Magistrates Act (“Act”), the court may “accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1). If a party files objections to a magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations,
“the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified
proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” Id.; Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
PAGE 1 – ORDER
If no party objects, the Act does not prescribe any standard of review. See Thomas v.
Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 152 (1985) (“There is no indication that Congress, in enacting [the Act],
intended to require a district judge to review a magistrate’s report to which no objections are
filed.”); United States. v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (holding
that the court must review de novo magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations if objection
is made, “but not otherwise”).
Although review is not required in the absence of objections, the Act “does not preclude
further review by the district judge[] sua sponte . . . under a de novo or any other standard.”
Thomas, 474 U.S. at 154. Indeed, the Advisory Committee Notes to Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)
recommend that “[w]hen no timely objection is filed,” the court review the magistrate judge’s
findings and recommendations for “clear error on the face of the record.”
No party having made objections, this Court follows the recommendation of the Advisory
Committee and reviews Magistrate Judge Coffin’s Findings and Recommendation for clear error
on the face of the record. No such error is apparent. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate
Judge Coffin’s Findings and Recommendation, ECF 23.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 3rd day of December, 2018.
