ORDER
The Honorable Janice Stewart, United States Magistrate Judge, filed Findings and Recommendation on February 16, 2010. Plaintiff filed timely objections to the Findings and Recommendation.
When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate's Findings and Recommendation concerning a dispositive motion or prisoner petition, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b);McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982). This court has, therefore, given de novo review of the rulings of Magistrate Judge Stewart.
This court ADOPTS the Findings and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Stewart (#15) dated February 16, 2010 in its entirety.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the City's Motion to Dismiss for Want of Jurisdiction (Ripeness) (#5) is granted.
