(PS) Barnett v. CA DMV

Opinion

ROBERTA BARNETT, No. 2:17-cv-1517-TLN-CKD (PS) Plaintiff, v. ORDER MOTOR VEHICLES, et al., Defendants. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(19). On February 27, 2025, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 81.) By order minute order issued on March 10, 2025, the magistrate ordered that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed by March 13, 2025. (ECF No. 83.) Plaintiff filed timely objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 84.) Defendant filed a response. (ECF No. 86.) The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court[.]”). Having reviewed the file, including Plaintiff’s objections to the findings and recommendations, as well as Defendant’s response, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 1. The findings and recommendations filed February 27, 2025 (ECF No. 81), are ADOPTED in full; 2. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 76) is GRANTED; and 3. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case. Date: March 21, 2025 Ze CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
