BROWN, Judge.

ORDER

BROWN, Judge.

Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman issued Findings and Recommendation (#69) on September 28, 2015, in which she recommends the Court grant the Motion (#6) to Dismiss of Defendants Vista Group International Limited and Numero Limited; grant the Motion (#12) to Dismiss of Defendant Joel Hedrick; deny Plaintiff Rentrak Corporation's Motion (#27) to Dismiss; and deny as moot the Joint Motion (#47) to Strike of Vista Group, Numero, and Hedrick. Plaintiff filed timely Objections to the portion of the Findings and Recommendation in which the Magistrate Judge recommended granting Vista Group and Numero's Motion to Dismiss. The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).

When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate Judge's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). See also Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9^th Cir. 2009); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9^th Cir. 2003)(en banc).

In its Objections Plaintiff reiterates the arguments contained in its Response to Vista Group and Numero's Motion to Dismiss and stated at oral argument. This Court has carefully considered Plaintiff's Objections and concludes they do not provide a basis to modify the Findings and Recommendation. The Court also has reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and does not find any error in the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation.

CONCLUSION

The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Beckerman's Findings and Recommendation (#69); GRANTS the Motion (#6) to Dismiss of Defendants Vista Group International Limited and Numero Limited; GRANTS the Motion (#12) to Dismiss of Defendant Joel Hedrick; DENIES Plaintiff Rentrak Corporation's Motion (#27) to Dismiss; and DENIES as moot the Joint Motion (#47) to Strike of Vista Group, Numero, and Hedrick.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 30^th day of November, 2015.
