No. 2:17-CV-1072-PK
09-04-2018
CHRISTOPHER LEE BARNES Plaintiff, v. JOE GUERRA, KEVIN BECKLEY, THERON RUMSEY, and JAMES DEACON, Defendants.
ORDER :
Magistrate Judge Paul Papak issued a Findings and Recommendation [35] July 10, 2018, in which he recommends that the Court grant in part and deny in part Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [30]. Because neither party timely filed an objection to the Magistrate Judges Findings and Recommendation, the Court is relieved of its 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 only for portions of Magistrate Judge's report to which objections have been made). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court finds no error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Papak's Findings & Recommendation [35]. Accordingly, Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [30] is GRANTED on Plaintiff's second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth claims for relief. Summary Judgment is DENIED as to Plaintiff's first claim for relief.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 4 day of September, 2018.
