Gil v. Venetian Casino Resort, LLC ( 2023 )

1 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 4 5 Lalaine Gil, Case No. 2:23-cv-00424-CDS-NJK 6 Plaintiff Order Adopting Report and 7 v. Recommendation 8 Venetian Casino Resort, LLC, et al., [ECF Nos. 2, 4] 9 Defendants 10 11 Pro so plaintiff Lalaine Gil brought this employment-discrimination case on March 21, 12 2023. ECF No. 1. The same day, she filed a motion seeking to proceed in forma pauperis, stating 13 that she is unable to pay the fees and costs related to this case. ECF No. 2. Magistrate Judge 14 Nancy Koppe recommends that Gil’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis should be denied 15 because based on Gil’s identified monthly income and cash available in a checking or savings 16 account, she “is capable of paying the $402 filing fee in this case.” ECF No. 4 (citing Ali v. Cuyler, 17 547 F. Supp. 129, 130 (E.D. Penn. 1982) (“holding that the magistrate judge correctly determined 18 that the plaintiff did not qualify for in forma pauperis status when he had $450 in savings and the 19 filing fee was $60”). 20 The deadline for Gil to object to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation 21 (R&R) was April 5, 2023. Id. To date, Gil has not filed an objection, and the time to do so has 22 passed. See LR IB 3-2(a). “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and 23 recommendation unless objections are filed.” Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. 24 Ariz. 2003); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 25 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). Because no objection has been filed, I adopt Judge Koppe’s R&R in its 26 entirety. 1 Conclusion 2 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and 3 recommendation [ECF No. 4] is ADOPTED in its entirety. 4 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Gil’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 5 [ECF No. 2] is DENIED. If she wishes to proceed with this case, she must pay the $402 filing 6 fee by May 10, 2023. If she fails to pay the filing fee by that deadline, this case could be closed 7 without further notice. 8 DATED: April 10, 2023 9 _________________________________ Cristina D.
