BEFORE THE COURT is Magistrate Judge John T. Rodgers’ Report and
Recommendation to Close File (ECF No. 7) on Ronald James Davenport’s Original Bill in
Equity, which was filed on November 18, 2014. Mr. Davenport filed this action against
the Commissioner of the IRS and two Assistant U.S. Attorneys in connection with prior
litigation regarding alleged income tax withholding. On December 16, 2014, Mr.
Davenport filed an incomplete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Magistrate
Rodgers entered an Oder denying the application, which explained how Mr. Davenport
could remedy the defects and directed that he do so within thirty days. No action was
taken by Mr. Davenport. Magistrate Rodgers then filed his Report and Recommendation
to Close File on January 20, 2015. Mr. Davenport has not responded to the Order or
Report and Recommendation.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 72 states that a party has 14 days after being served a copy of a
dispositive Report and Recommendation to file written objections. If no objections are
filed, then the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face
of the record in order to accept the Report and Recommendation. Campbell v. U.S. Dist.
ORDER - 1

1 Court, 501 F.2d 196, 206 (9th Cir. 1974). The court finds no clear error and therefore
2 adopts Magistrate Rodgers’ Report and Recommendation and orders the file closed.
