5 CRAIG ALAN VANNESS, Case No. 3:24-cv-00309-ART-CLB

6 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND v. RECOMMENDATION OF U.S. 7 MAGISTRATE JUDGE (ECF No. 3)

8 SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT., et al., 9 Defendants. 10

11 12 Pro se Plaintiff Craig Vanness filed this action against the Second Judicial 13 District Court and the State of Nevada, alleging claims relating to his registration 14 as a sex offender. (ECF No. 1-1.) Magistrate Judge Carla Baldwin issued a report 15 and recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Plaintiff’s application to 16 proceed in forma pauperis be granted and Plaintiff’s claims be dismissed with 17 prejudice. (ECF No. 3.) 18 Under the Federal Magistrates Act, a Court “may accept, reject, or modify, 19 in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by [a] magistrate 20 judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where a party timely objects to a magistrate judge's 21 report and recommendation, the court is required to “make a de 22 novo determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which 23 objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A court is not required to conduct “any 24 review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. 25 Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). 26 Plaintiff has not filed an objection Judge Baldwin’s R&R and his time to do 27 so has now expired. After Plaintiff’s mail was returned as undeliverable, the Court 28 granted Plaintiff additional time to update his address and file objections to the 1 || R&R. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address but did not file an 2 || objection to the R&R. (ECF No. 9.) 3 || Conclusion 4 The Court therefore orders that Judge Baldwin’s report and 5 || recommendation (ECF No. 3) is adopted in full, except that Plaintiffs application 6 || to proceed IFP is denied as moot. Accordingly: 7 Plaintiffs complaint (ECF No. 1-1) is DISMISSED with prejudice. 8 Plaintiffs application to proceed IFP (ECF No. 1) is DENIED as moot. 9 The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and 10 || CLOSE the case. 11 12 DATED: December 16, 2024. 13 14 Aras floret Jd 15 16 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
