CHIBUEZE C. ANAEME, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Stewart issued a Findings and Recommendation (#5) on March 14, 2011, in which she recommends that this Court grant plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis, but dismiss his Complaint with prejudice because it fails to state a claim, seeks monetary relief against defendants who are immune, and is frivolous. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).
Because no objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation were timely filed, I am relieved of my obligation to review the record de novo. United States v. Reyna-Tapia. 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); see also United States v. Bernhardt. 840 F.2d 1441, 1444 (9th Cir. 1988) (de novo review required onlv for portions of Magistrate Judge's report to which objections have been made). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo. I find no error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Stewart's Findings and Recommendation [5]. Accordinglv. plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis [1] is granted. and the Complaint [2] is dismissed in its entirety with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
