Opinion
Case No. 2:12-CR-00289-JCM-PAL
05-20-2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. TYRONE DAVIS, Defendant.
ORDER
Presently before the court is Magistrate Judge Leen's Report and Recommendation that defendant Tyrone Davis' Motion to Suppress Evidence (doc. # 31) be denied. (Doc. # 33). Defendant had up to, and including May 10, 2013, to file objections. To date, no objections have been filed.
This court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Where a party timely objects to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, then the court is required to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which objection is made." Id.
Where a party fails to object, however, the court is not required to conduct "any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection." Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a district court is not required to review a magistrate judge's report and recommendation where no objections have been filed. See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114 (9th Cir. 2003) (disregarding the standard of review employed by the district court when reviewing a report and recommendation to which no objects were made); see also Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F.Supp.2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003) (reading the Ninth Circuit's decision in Reyna-Tapia as adopting the view that district courts are not required to review "any issue that is not the subject of an objection."). Thus, if there is no objections to a magistrate judge's recommendation, then this court may accept the recommendation without review. See, e.g., Johnstone, 263 F.Supp.2d at 1226 (accepting, without review, a magistrate judge's recommendation to which no object was filed).
Nevertheless, this court finds it appropriate to engage in a de novo review to determine whether to adopt the recommendation of the magistrate judge. Upon reviewing the defendant's motion to suppress, the government's response, and the magistrate's report-this court finds good cause to adopt the magistrate's findings in full.
Defendant did not file a reply.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Leen (doc. # 33) be, and the same hereby is, ADOPTED in its entirety.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant Davis' Motion to Suppress Evidence (doc. # 31) be, and the same hereby is, DENIED.
