BROWN, Judge.

Magistrate Judge Patricia Sullivan issued Findings and Recommendation (#32) on November 21, 2011, in which she recommends this Court grant Defendants' Motion (#21) to Dismiss Amended Complaint. 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).

When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate Judge's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). See also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)(en banc); United States v. Bernhardt, 840 F.2d 1441, 1444 (9th Cir. 1988).

In his Objections, Plaintiff reiterates the arguments contained in his Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Amended Complaint. This Court has carefully considered Plaintiff's Objections and concludes they do not provide a basis to modify the Findings and Recommendation. The Court also has reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and does not find any error in the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation.

CONCLUSION

The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Sullivan's Findings and Recommendation (#32). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Defendants' Motion (#21) to Dismiss Amended Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
