UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DERRICK L COLLINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

XL CONSTRUCTION, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19–cv–1530 TLN–KJN

ORDER

On January 31, 2020 the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations (ECF No. 

19), which were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections to the 

findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen (14) days. No objections were 

filed.

Accordingly, 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 Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 

1983). 

The Court has reviewed the applicable legal standards and, good cause appearing, 

concludes that it is appropriate to adopt the findings and recommendations in full. Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
