Francisco Guzman, Plaintiff, v. Shawn Blick, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
HON. STEPHEN M. MCNAMEE SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter was assigned to Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf. (Doc. 3). On March 14, 2022, the Magistrate Judge filed a First Report and Recommendation with this Court recommending that the Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (Doc. 6). After the Report and Recommendation was issued, mail from the Clerk of the Court sent to the Plaintiff was returned as undeliverable. The Magistrate Judge issued an Order requiring Plaintiff to file a change of address. (Doc. 8). The Plaintiff did not do so. Consequently, on April 12, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued a Second Report and Recommendation, recommending that the action be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Doc. 11). To date, no objections have been filed to either Report and Recommendation.
This case is assigned to a Magistrate Judge. However, not all parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. Thus, the matter is before this Court pursuant to General Order 21-25, which states in relevant part:
When a United States Magistrate Judge to whom a civil action has been assigned pursuant to Local Rule 3.7(a)(1) considers dismissal to be appropriate but lacks the jurisdiction to do so under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) due to incomplete status of election by the parties to consent or not consent to the full authority of the Magistrate Judge,
IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge will prepare a Report and Recommendation for the Chief United States District Judge or designee.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED designating the following District Court Judges to review and, if deemed suitable, to sign the order of dismissal on my behalf:
Phoenix/Prescott: Senior United States District Judge Stephen M. McNamee
STANDARD OF REVIEW
The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have fourteen days from the service of a copy of the Magistrate's recommendation within which to file specific written objections to the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge's recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge's factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge's conclusion “is a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal.” Id.
DISCUSSION
Having reviewed the Report and Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge, and no Objections having been made by any party thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts the reasoning in both Report and Recommendations, adopts in-part the recommendation of the First Report and Recommendation, and adopts the recommendation in the Second Report and Recommendation, that is, dismissal without leave to amend.
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth, IT IS ORDERED adopting in-part the First Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. (Doc. 6).
IT IS ORDERED adopting the Second Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. (Doc. 8).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED dismissing without prejudice the Complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of the Court to terminate this matter.
