1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 ANTONIO WHEELER, ) 4 ) Plaintiff, ) Case No.: 2:24-cv-00682-GMN-EJY 5 vs. ) 6 ) ORDER ADOPTING SUSAN BRAGER, et al., ) REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 7 ) Defendants. ) 8 ) 9 Pending before the Court is the Order and Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), (ECF 10 No. 6), from United States Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah, which recommends dismissing 11 the case without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to file an amended complaint by July 1, 2024. 12 A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a 13 United States Magistrate Judge made pursuant to Local Rule IB 1-4. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); 14 D. Nev. R. IB 3-2. Upon the filing of such objections, the Court must make a de novo 15 determination of those portions to which objections are made if the Magistrate Judge’s findings 16 and recommendations concern matters that may not be finally determined by a magistrate 17 judge. D. Nev. R. IB 3-2(b). The Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the 18 findings or recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Nev. R. 19 IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, the Court is not required to conduct “any 20 review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 21 140, 149 (1985) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a 22 district court is not required to review a magistrate judge’s R&R where no objections have been 23 filed. See, e.g., United States v. Reyna–Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1122 (9th Cir. 2003). 24 Here, no objection was filed, and the deadline to do so has passed. (See R&R, ECF No. 25 6) (setting July 16, 2024, deadline for objections). The pro se Plaintiff did, however, file a 1 || Notice of Appeal as to the Court’s previous Order adopting the Magistrate Judge’s first R&R, 2 || (ECF No. 5). The Ninth Circuit has since dismissed the Notice of Appeal because the appealed 3 || Order was not final or appealable. (USCA Order, ECF No. 11). As of the date of writing this 4 || Order, Plaintiff not filed an amended complaint. 5 Accordingly, 6 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 6), is 7 || ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in full. 8 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED without prejudice. 9 Dated this 6 day of September, 2024. 10 11 Gloria JM} Navarro, District Judge 12 United States District Court 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 2 of 2
