ORDER
Magistrate Judge Donald C. Ashmanskas filed Amended Findings and Recommendation (#26) on February 11, 2002, in the above entitled case. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate judge's report. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982).
Defendants have timely filed objections. I have, therefore, given de novo review of Magistrate Judge Ashmanskas's rulings.
I find no error. Accordingly, I ADOPT Magistrate Judge Ashmanskas's Amended Findings and Recommendation (#26) dated February 11, 2002, in its entirety. Plaintiff's motion (#5) to remand is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
