Wilson v. Segovia

Opinion

LUCIOUS WILSON, Case No.: 19-CV-2254 TWR (MDD)

Plaintiff, ORDER (1) ADOPTING REPORT & v. RECOMMENDATION, AND (2) GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ SGT. SEGOVIA, et al., MOTION FOR SUMMARY Defendants. JUDGMENT.

(ECF Nos. 42, 53)

Presently before the Court is Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (“Motion,” ECF No. 42). Magistrate Judge Mitchell D. Dembin has issued a Report and Recommendation on the Motion (“R&R,” ECF No. 53), recommending that the Court grant the Motion. Having carefully reviewed the Parties’ arguments, Magistrate Judge Dembin’s R&R, the underlying administrative record, and the law, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Dembin’s R&R in its entirety and GRANTS Defendants’ Motion. Magistrate Judge Dembin’s R&R contains a thorough and accurate recitation of the factual and procedural history underlying the instant Petition. (See R&R at 1–3.) This Order incorporates by reference the background as set forth therein. / / / When a magistrate judge issues a report and recommendation on a motion pending before a district court judge, the district court must “make a de novo determination of those portion of the report . . . to which objection is made” and “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 673-76 (1980); United States v. Remsing, 874 F.2d 614, 617 (9th Cir. 1989). But “[w]hen no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment (citing Campbell v. U.S. Dist. Court, 501 F.2d 196, 206 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 419 U.S. 879 (1974)); see also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 Cir. 2003) (emphasis in original) (“[T]he district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.”’). As of the date of this Order, the Court has received no objections to Magistrate Judge Dembin’s R&R. (See R&R at 9 (ordering that any objections be filed no later than January 2021).) Having reviewed the R&R, the Court finds that it is thorough, well-reasoned, and contains no clear error. The Court therefore ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Dembin’s in its entirety and GRANTS Defendants’ Motion. In light of the foregoing, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Dembin’s R&R (ECF No. 53) and GRANTS Defendants’ Motion (ECF No. 42). Dated: November 18, 2021 “Ten 12 D (ore 2%6 Honorable Todd W.
