Francisco Vidal, Plaintiff v. J. Lindsey, et al., Defendants
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
[ECF NO. 33]
JENNIFER A. DORSEY, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Francisco Vidal purports to bring a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the public against various state officials, entities, and police officers. The magistrate judge has screened his complaint and recommends that I dismiss his claims to the extent they are alleged on behalf of a class because the law prevents plaintiffs who represent themselves on a pro se basis from representing others in a class-action suit. Objections to that recommendation were due by December 1, 2020, and Vidal neither objected nor moved to extend that deadline. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge's report and recommendation unless objections are filed.”
ECF No. 33 at 3-4.
Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F.Supp.2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 33] is ADOPTED. Plaintiffs class-action allegations are struck, and to the extent his claims are purportedly brought on behalf of anyone but himself, they are DISMISSED.
