IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
BRIAN LEE LARSEN,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civ. No. 6:16-cv-01727-TC
ORDER

NICHOLAS MILLER, et al.
Defendants.
_____________________________
MCSHANE, Judge:
Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin filed a Findings and Recommendation (ECF No.
17), and the matter is now before this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
Plaintiff filed a “Notice to Strike Motion to Dismiss” (ECF No. 20) five days after Judge Coffin
issued his F&R. While Plaintiff’s Notice does not reference the F&R, I will receive them as
objections for purposes of judicial expediency. Accordingly, I have reviewed the file of this case
de novo. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach.,
Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). I conclude the report is correct.
I adopt the Findings and Recommendation (ECF No. 17). Defendants’ motion to dismiss,
(ECF No. 11) is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s Motions for Contempt of Court (ECF No. 4) and Motion

1 – ORDER

for Declaratory Judgment (ECF No. 13) are DENIED. Defendant’s Motion for Extension of
Deadlines (ECF No. 16) is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 13th day of January, 2017.
