1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 2 3 Leaha White, Case No. 2:24-cv-00140-CDS-BNW 4 Plaintiff Order Adopting Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and Closing Case 5 v. 6 LVNV Funding, LLC, [ECF No. 5] 7 Defendant 8 9 Plaintiff Leaha White brings this action alleging that defendant LVNV Funding, LLC 10 violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Compl., ECF No. 1-1. Because White applied to 11 proceed in forma pauperis, Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler screened the complaint and dismissed 12 it without prejudice for failure to state a claim but allowed White leave to amend. ECF No. 3. The 13 deadline for White to file an amended complaint was February 29, 2024. Id. at 4. Judge Weksler 14 cautioned White that failure to file an amended complaint by that date would result in a 15 recommendation that the action be dismissed. Id. White did not file an amended complaint by the 16 deadline, nor otherwise responded to the court’s order. Thus, on March 22, 2024, Judge Weksler 17 issued a report and recommendation that this case be dismissed. R&R, ECF No. 5. 18 Under this district’s local rules, White had until April 5, 2024 to file any objections to 19 the R&R. LR IB 3-2(a) (stating that parties wishing to object to an R&R must file objections 20 within fourteen days); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). As of the date of this order, White has neither 21 objected to the R&R nor requested more time to do so. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate 22 judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are filed.” Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 23 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 24 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). I nonetheless reviewed Judge Weksler’s previous order and the 25 docket in this matter. Upon learning that White failed to file an amended complaint as directed 26 and has filed nothing since, I adopt the R&R in full. 1 Conclusion 2 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation 3 || [ECF No. 5] is adopted in its entirety. 4 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice based on 5 || White’s failure to file an amended complaint in compliance with Judge Weksler’s January 30, 6 |/2024 order. 7 The Clerk of Court is kindly directed to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. 8 Dated: April 16, 2024 J, ) 9 LZ 10 _ ft CL — Cristi He».
