Wood, with the job or title identified as “Jefferson Petursburg” from New York City; and (6) “Valdmir Putin” from Moscow (Doc. 1 at 1-4.) The magistrate judge found Plaintiff failed to state a cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted, and recommended the action be dismissed as frivolous. (Doc. 7 at 3-5.) The Court served the Findings and Recommendations upon Plaintiff by mail on May 4, 2023 and notified him that any objections must be filed within 14 days of the date of service. (Id. at 5.) The Court informed Plaintiff that the “failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” (Id., citing Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014), Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991).) Plaintiff did not file any objections, and the time to do so has expired. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire matter, the Court concludes the Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS: 1. The Findings and Recommendations (Doc. 7) are ADOPTED in full. 2. The complaint is dismissed without leave to amend. 3. The action is DISMISSED without prejudice. 4. The Clerk of Court shall close this action. Dated: _ June 19, 2023 Charis [Tourn TED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
