Opinion
Civil No. 06-3041-CL.
August 7, 2007
ORDER
On July 3, 2007, Magistrate Judge Clarke filed his Report and Recommendation (docket # 29), recommending denial of Defendant's motion to dismiss or transfer venue (# 4), which was converted into a motion for summary judgment (# 13). The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). Although no objections have been timely filed, this court still must review the legal principles de novo. See Lorin Corp. v Goto Co., Ltd., 700 F.2d 1202, 1206 (9th Cir. 1983) (absence of objection does not relieve "district court of its obligation . . . to decide for itself whether the Magistrate's report is correct").
I find no error.
Conclusion
Magistrate Judge Clarke's Report and Recommendation (docket # 29) is adopted. The Motion (# 4) to Dismiss or transfer venue, or for Summary Judgment (# 13), is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
