Opinion
Case No. 2:16-cv-02703-APG-NJK
01-04-2017
RONALD SATISH EMRIT, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE
(ECF No. 6)
On December 2, 2016, Magistrate Judge Koppe issued a report and recommendation recommending that I dismiss this case without prejudice because plaintiff Ronald Emrit did not follow the required procedures imposed by Chief Judge Navarro's orders declaring him a vexatious litigant. ECF No. 6. Emrit did not file an objection. Thus, I am not obligated to conduct a de novo review of the report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (requiring district courts to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings to which objection is made"); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) ("the district judge must review the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise" (emphasis in original)).
I nevertheless conducted a de novo review. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Judge Koppe sets forth the proper legal analysis and factual basis for the decision.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Judge Koppe's report and recommendation (ECF No. 6) is accepted. This case is dismissed without prejudice.
DATED this 4th day of January, 2017.
