IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Daniel Patterson, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Pima County Sheriff's Department, et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV-13-01779-TUC-RM

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 35) issued by 

United States Magistrate Judge Eric J. Markovich that recommends granting Defendant’s 

Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 30). No objections have been filed. 

 A district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions” of a 

magistrate judge’s “report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which 

objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The advisory committee notes to Rule 72(b) 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state that, “[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” of a magistrate judge. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) 

advisory committee note to 1983 addition. See also Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 

734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999) (“If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district 

court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.”); Prior v. Ryan, CV 10-

225-TUC-RCC, 2012 WL 1344286, at *1 (D. Ariz. Apr. 18, 2012) (reviewing for clear 

error unobjected-to portions of Report and Recommendation).
