CIVIL ACTION NO.: 1:15CV234

( ) ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S OPINION/REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter came before the Court for consideration of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate James E. Seibert ("R&R") (dkt. no. 19), dated August 18, 2016. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the Court is required to review de novo those portions of the Magistrate Judge's findings to which objection is made. However, failure to file objections to the R&R permits the District Court ro review the recommendation under the standards that the District Court believes are appropriate, and under these circumstances, the parties' right to de novo review is waived. See Webb v. Califano, 468 F.Supp. 825 (E.D. Cal. 1979). To date, no objections have been filed. Accordingly, this Court will review the R&R for clear error.
Upon review of the R&R and the record, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's R&R (dkt. no. 19) for the reasons more fully stated therein. Therefore, the Court:
1. GRANTS the defendant's motion for summary judgment (dkt. no. 17);
2. DENIES the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (dkt. no. 11); and
3. DISMISSES this civil action WITH PREJUDICE and ORDERS it STRICKEN from the active docket of this Court.
The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in favor of the defendant.
It is so ORDERED.
The Court directs the Clerk to transmit copies of this Order to all counsel of record. DATED: November 18, 2016.
