Opinion
3:10-CV-01030-AC
01-13-2012
LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, INC., Plaintiff, v. PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF OREGON; RAY BAUM, SUSAN ACKERMAN, and JOHN SAVAGE, in their official capacities as Commissioners of the Public Utility Commission of Oregon and not as individuals; and QWEST CORPORATION, Defendants.
ORDER
BROWN , Judge.
Magistrate Judge John V. Acosta issued Findings and Recommendation (#47) on October 27, 2011, in which he recommends this Court deny Plaintiff Level 3 Communications' Motion (#26) for Summary Judgment, grant Defendant Public Utility Commission of Oregon's Cross-Motion (#29) for Summary Judgment, grant Defendant Qwest Corporation's Cross-Motion (#30) for Summary Judgment, and dismiss this matter with prejudice. The matter is now before this Court 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, this 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). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court does not find any error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Acosta's Findings and Recommendation (#47). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff Level 3 Communications' Motion (#26) for Summary Judgment, GRANTS Defendant Public Utility Commission of Oregon's Cross-Motion (#29) for Summary Judgment, GRANTS Defendant Qwest Corporation's Cross-Motion (#30) for Summary Judgment, and DISMISSES
Plaintiff's claims in their entirety.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
