Armstrong v. Chapman

Opinion

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA

3 STEVEN MATTHEW ARMSTRONG, 4 Plaintiff, Case No.: 2:24-cv-00575-GMN-BNW 5 vs. 6 ORDER ADOPTING TRAVIS CHAPMAN, et al., REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 7 Defendants. 8

9 Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), (ECF No. 24), 10 from United States Magistrate Judge Brenda N. Weksler recommending that Plaintiff Steven 11 Armstrong’s action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with court orders. (See 12 generally R&R, ECF No. 24). 13 A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a 14 United States Magistrate Judge made pursuant to Local Rule IB 1-4. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); 15 D. Nev. R. IB 3-2. Upon the filing of such objections, the Court must make a de novo 16 determination of those portions to which objections are made if the Magistrate Judge’s findings 17 and recommendations concern matters that may not be finally determined by a magistrate 18 judge. D. Nev. R. IB 3-2(b). The Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the 19 findings or recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Nev. R. 20 IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, the Court is not required to conduct “any 21 review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 22 140, 149 (1985) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a 23 district court is not required to review a magistrate judge’s R&R where no objections have been 24 filed. See, e.g., United States v. Reyna–Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1122 (9th Cir. 2003). 25 ] No objections to the R&R were filed, and the deadline to do so has passed. (See R&R, 2 || ECF No. 24) (setting a July 25, 2025, deadline for objections). 3 Accordingly, 4 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 24), is 5 || ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in full. 6 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs action is DISMISSED without 7 prejudice. The Clerk of Court 1s kindly instructed to close the case. 8 Dated this 15 day of August, 2025.
