Opinion
No. 03:12-cv-01160-PK

CINDY LAMB, Plaintiff, v. ACE CASH EXPRESS, INC., Defendant.
ORDER :
Magistrate Judge Papak issued a Findings and Recommendation (#54) on July 1, 2014, in which he recommends that this Court deny Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f), grant summary judgment to non-movant Defendant on Plaintiff's wrongful discharge claim. 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 only 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 Papak's Findings & Recommendation [54]. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment [39] is denied, and summary judgment is granted to Defendant on Plaintiff's wrongful discharge claim.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 5 day of Aug, 2014.
