ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

DEFAULT JUDGMENT

(Documents #18 & #22)

On September 7, 2005, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for default judgment against

Defendants. Defendants did not oppose the complaint, file an opposition to the motion for

default judgment, or otherwise communicate with the court. On October 18, 2005, the

Magistrate Judge entered Findings and Recommendations that recommend the court grant

Plaintiff default judgment. These Findings and Recommendations were served on the parties and

contained notice that any objections could be filed within thirty days. No party has filed

objections.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)C) this court has conducted a

de novo review of this case. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454

(9th Cir. 1983). Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court adopts the Findings and

Recommendations.
