BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, Plaintiff v. FOOTHILLS AT MACDONALD RANCH MASTER ASSOCIATION, et al., Defendants
Order Accepting Report and Recommendation
[ECF Nos. 154, 156, 174]
On January 3, 2020, Magistrate Judge Weksler recommended that I deny defendant SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC's motions for leave to amend its counterclaim and the case caption. ECF No. 174. SFR 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 THEREFORE ORDER that Magistrate Judge Weksler's report and recommendation (ECF No. 174) is accepted, defendant SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC's motions to amend its counterclaim and the case caption (ECF Nos. 154, 156) are DENIED.
DATED this 21st day of January, 2020.
