DeGrandi v. Hobeys Casino ( 2024 )

1 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 3 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 4 5 CHRISTOPHER DEGRANDI, Case No. 3:24-cv-00313-ART-CSD 6 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND v. REOMMENDATION OF MAGISTRATE 7 JUDGE (ECF No. 4) HOBEYS CASINO, 8 Defendant. 9 10 11 Plaintiff Christopher DeGrandi filed a complaint against Defendant Hobey’s 12 Casino on July 16, 2024. (ECF No. 1-1.) On July 18, 2024, Magistrate Judge 13 Denney issued an order providing Plaintiff 30 days to complete an application to 14 proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) or pay the filing fee. (ECF No. 3.) On August 21, 15 Judge Denney issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending 16 that this action be dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff had not 17 completed an IFP application or paid the filing fee. (ECF No. 4.) Plaintiff has not 18 objected to Judge Denney’s R&R, and the time to do so has now expired. 19 Magistrate judges are empowered to issue reports and recommendations 20 on dispositive issues, which district judges may “accept, reject, or modify, in 21 whole or in part.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Where, as here, neither party objects 22 to a magistrate judge's recommendation, the district court is not required to 23 perform any review of that judge's conclusions. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 24 150 (1985). 25 Because Plaintiff has failed to either complete an IFP application or pay the 26 filing fee, the Court agrees with and adopts Judge Denney’s R&R in full. 27 // 28 // 1 It is therefore ordered that Judge Denney’s Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 4) is ADOPTED. 3 It is further ordered that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 4 It is further ordered that the Clerk of Court is directed to ENTER 5 || JUDGMENT and CLOSE THIS CASE. 6 7 Dated this 17 day of October, 2024. 8 ° 4 + lossd Idem 10 ANNE TRAUM 11 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
