(PS) Khan v. U.S. Bank National Association

Opinion

KHALID N. KHAN, No. 2:21-cv-00267 KJM AC PS Plaintiff, v. ORDER and S.A. CHALLENGER, INC., Defendant.

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed the above-entitled action. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided by Local Rule 302(c)(21). On March 5, 2021, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days. ECF No. 3. Plaintiff has not filed objections to the findings and recommendations. Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the findings and recommendations was returned, plaintiff was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of the party is fully effective. ///// ] 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 denovo. 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, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The findings and recommendations filed March 5, 2021, are adopted in full; and 2. Plaintiffs request to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is GRANTED but the complaint (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED with prejudice because it is barred by the doctrine of res judicata. DATED: April 29, 2021. ee CHIEF ED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
