Morgan v. Bash ( 2021 )

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 Donna Morgan, Case No.: 2:19-cv-00546-JAD-BNW 4 Plaintiff Order Adopting Report and 5 v. Recommendation and Granting Motion for Judgment 6 Michael Bash, et al., [ECF Nos. 96, 97] 7 Defendants 8 Plaintiff Donna Morgan settled her claims against Defendants Michael Bash, Jeremy 9 Bash, Berkely Enterprises, and Pepperdine Enterprises, Inc., at a settlement conference 10 conducted by Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler. The defendants agreed to pay Morgan the total 11 sum of $150,000 over time, with the first monthly installment to begin in October 2021, and they 12 executed a confession of judgment memorializing that obligation.1 Although the defendants 13 sought and obtained a few-day extension of the due date for their first, October payment, they 14 never made it—or any payment toward the settlement sum. 15 Morgan now moves the court to enter judgment against the defendants for the $150,000 16 settlement amount.2 The deadline to oppose that motion passed without response or a request to 17 extend it, and the magistrate judge now recommends that I grant Morgan’s motion for 18 judgment.3 Any objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation were due 19 yesterday; none were filed, and no party moved to extend the deadline to do so. “[N]o review is 20 21 22 1 ECF No. 96-4. 23 2 ECF No. 96. 3 ECF No. 97. required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are filed.””4 Having reviewed the R&R, I find good cause to adopt it, and I do. 3 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 97] is ADOPTED in full. Morgan’s Motion for Entry of Judgment [ECF No. 96] is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to FILE the Confession of Judgment [ECF No. 96-4 at pp. 2-4] and 6] ENTER JUDGMENT of $150,000 in favor of Plaintiff Donna Morgan and against Defendants Michael Bash, Jeremy Bash, Berkely Enterprises, and Pepperdine Enterprises, Inc., jointly and severally, and CLOSE THIS CASE. 9 US.
