JOSHUA MORTON, Plaintiff, v. YELLOWSTONE COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, CAPTAIN BODINE, LISA, CORRECTIONAL HEALTH PARTNERS, Defendants.


ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE'S FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUSAN P. WATTERS, United States District Judge.

The United States Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations on October 14, 2021. (Doc. 8). The Magistrate recommended that Plaintiff Joshua Morton's Complaint be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Doc. 8 at 4).

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. 8) are ADOPTED IN FULL.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff Joshua Morton's Complaint is dismissed for failure to prosecute. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter and enter judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Clerk of Court is directed to have the docket reflect that the Court certifies pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3)(A) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure that any appeal of this decision would not be taken in good faith. The record makes plain that Morton has failed to prosecute this matter and/or comply with the Court's orders.
