Oelker v. State of Idaho

Opinion

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 2

3 Jeromy Oelker, Case No. 2:24-cv-01291-CDS-DJA

4 Plaintiff Order Adopting Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and Closing 5 v. Case

6 State of Idaho, et al., [ECF No. 5] 7 Defendants

9 Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts issued a report and recommendation (R&R) that I 10 dismiss this case without leave to amend because each of the named defendants in his complaint 11 are immune from suit. R&R, ECF No. 5. As set forth in the R&R, and in accordance with the local 12 rules, Oelker had until September 4, 2024, to file to file any objections to the R&R. Id. at 8–9 13 (citing LR IB 3-2 (stating that parties wishing to object to an R&R must file objections within 14 fourteen)); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (same). As of the date of this order, Oelker has neither 15 objected to the R&R nor requested more time to do so.1 16 “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless 17 objections are filed.” Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219, 1226 (D. Ariz. 2003); see also Thomas v. 18 Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). Still, I 19 nonetheless reviewed Judge Albregt’s order and R&R and agree with his conclusion that, based 20 on the allegations contained in the complaint, all named defendants are immune from suit. I also 21 agree that amendment would be futile because the defendants are covered by immunity. As a 22 result, I adopt the R&R in full and dismiss the complaint without leave to amend.
