10 Plaintiff, ORDER

11 v.

12 Thomas Suites Campus of Care LLC, et al.,

13 Defendants. 14 15 This matter was assigned to Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle. (Doc. 3). On July 28, 16 2025, the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court.1 (Doc. 17 16). The Magistrate Judge has recommended that Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment, 18 (Doc. 15), be granted. To date, no objections have been filed. 19 ///

20 1 This case is assigned to a Magistrate Judge. However, not all parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. Thus, the matter is before this Court pursuant 21 to General Order 21-25, which states in relevant part:

22 When a United States Magistrate Judge to whom a civil action has been assigned pursuant to Local Rule 3.7(a)(1) considers dismissal to be 23 appropriate but lacks the jurisdiction to do so under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) due to incomplete status of election by the parties to consent or not consent 24 to the full authority of the Magistrate Judge,

25 IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge will prepare a Report and Recommendation for the Chief United States District Judge or designee. 26 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED designating the following District Court 27 Judges to review and, if deemed suitable, to sign the order of dismissal on my behalf: 28 Phoenix/Prescott: Senior United States District Judge Stephen M. McNamee 2 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 3 recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. 4 Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have fourteen days from the service 5 of a copy of the Magistrate’s recommendation within which to file specific written 6 objections to the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a 7 Magistrate Judge’s recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of 8 the Magistrate Judge’s factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on 9 appeal. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a 10 Magistrate Judge’s conclusion “is a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of 11 finding waiver of an issue on appeal.” Id. 13 Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and no 14 Objections having been made by any party thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and 15 adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. 17 Accordingly, for the reasons set forth, 18 IT IS ORDERED adopting the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate 19 Judge. (Doc. 16). 20 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment. 21 (Doc. 15). 22 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff is awarded $18,000.00 in damages, 23 plus post-judgment interest at the statutory rate, of which: 24 1. Defendants Thomas Suites, New Life, and James Demasi are jointly and severally 25 liable for $12,915.00; and 26 2. Defendants Thomas Suites and New Life are jointly and severally liable for 27 $5,085.00. 28 /// 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of Court to enter judgment 2|| accordingly. 3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff may file a motion for attorney fees on 4|| or before September 11, 2025. 5 Dated this 27th day of August, 2025. 6 1 — Lig Vom g Stephen M.
