UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EFRAIN GARCIA, et al.

Plaintiffs,

vs.

ALLSTATE INSURANCE,

Defendant.

 /

Case No. 1:12-cv-00609-AWI-SKO 

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS THAT

DEFENDANT'S ANTI-SLAPP

MOTION AND REQUEST FOR

ATTORNEY'S FEES BE GRANTED

IN PART AND DENIED IN PART

(Docket No. 16)

On September 18, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that

Defendant Allstate Insurance's motion brought pursuant to California's anti-Strategic Lawsuits

Against Public Participation ("anti-SLAPP") and request for attorney's fees be granted in part and

denied in part. (Doc. 16.) These Findings and Recommendations were served on all parties

appearing in the action and contained notice that any objections were to be filed within twenty-one

(21) days after service of the order. No objections were filed. 

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

de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that the

Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis.
