ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE'S FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The United States Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations on October 5, 2020. (Doc. 40). The Magistrate recommended that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and failure to name a proper defendant, even after filing several supplements to the Complaint. (Doc. 12 at 2). Furthermore, the Magistrate recommended that, pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, any appeal of the Magistrate's decision would not be taken in good faith.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), parties are required to file written objections within 14 days of the filing of the Magistrate's Findings and Recommendation. No objections were filed. When neither party objects, this Court reviews the Magistrate's Findings and Recommendation for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000). After reviewing the Findings and Recommendation, this Court does not find that the Magistrate committed clear error.

IT IS ORDERED that the proposed Findings and Recommendations entered by the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. 40) are ADOPTED IN FULL.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the matter shall be DISMISSED, the Clerk of Court shall enter judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Clerk shall have the docket reflect that any appeal of this decision shall not be taken in good faith, pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

DATED this 1^st day of December, 2020.
