RICHARD LEE SATERSTAD, Plaintiff, v. DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING THE PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
(ECF No. 13)
On March 1, 2018, Magistrate Judge Hoffman issued a report and recommendation in which he recommends that I dismiss plaintiff Richard Lee Saterstad's complaint with prejudice because it is time-barred. Saterstad did not file an objection. Thus, I am not obligated to conduct a de novo review of the report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (requiring district courts to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings to which objection is made"); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) ("the district judge must review the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise" (emphasis in original)).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Hoffman's report and recommendation (ECF No. 13) is accepted. Plaintiff Richard Lee Saterstad's complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice.
DATED this 2nd day of April, 2018.
