No. CV-05-2775-PHX-SMM (JCG)

ORDER

On May 30, 2006, Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Guerin filed a Report and

Recommendation, advising this Court that Plaintiff's Complaint and this action should be

dismissed without prejudice for failure to file a change of address and comply with court orders.

[Doc. No. 6] The Report and Recommendation was returned to the Court on June 7, 2006 with

the annotation "return to sender" [Doc. No. 7], and to date, Plaintiff has not filed objections to

Judge Guerin's Report and Recommendation.

STANDARD OF REVIEW

When reviewing a Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, this Court must

"make a de novo determination of those portions 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)(C); see also Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391,

1394 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir.

1983)).

By failing to object to a Report and Recommendation, a party waives its right to

challenge the Magistrate Judge's factual findings, but not necessarily the Magistrate Judge's

legal conclusions. Baxter, 923 F.2d at 1394; see also Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th

Cir. 1998) (failure to object to Magistrate Judge's legal conclusion “is a factor to be weighed

in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal”); Martinez v. Ylst, 951

F.2d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing McCall v. Andrus, 628 F.2d 1185, 1187 (9th Cir.

1980)).

DISCUSSION

Having reviewed the legal conclusions of the Report and Recommendation of the

Magistrate Judge, and no objections having been made by Plaintiff thereto and Plaintiff having

failed to notify the Court of his address, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts the Magistrate

Judge's Report and Recommendation.

CONCLUSION

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Court adopts the Report and

Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Guerin. [Doc. No. 6]

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Complaint and this action are

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action

accordingly.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall provide a copy of this Order

to Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Guerin.

DATED this 3rd day of July, 2006.
