DERRICK VALENTINE, Plaintiff v. STATE OF NEVADA, Defendant
ORDER
GLORIA M. NAVARRO, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 17) of United States Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler, which states that this matter should be dismissed without prejudice.
A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a United States Magistrate Judge made pursuant to Local Rule IB 1-4. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); D. Nev. R. IB 3-2. Upon the filing of such objections, the Court must make a de novo determination of those portions to which objections are made. Id. The 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); D. Nev. R. IB 3-2(b). 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, e.g., United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1122 (9th Cir. 2003).
Here, no objections were filed, and the deadline to do so has passed. (See ECF No. 17) (setting a November 7, 2023, deadline for objections).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 17) is ADOPTED in full.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 14) is denied as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
The Clerk of Court shall close the case.
