IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Marshall Thompson, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Unknown Brown, et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV-14-02294-PHX-DLR

ORDER 

 Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge 

Bridget Bade, which recommends dismissing Defendant Brown for failure to serve. 

(Doc. 94.) The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file 

objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a 

waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. (Id. at 2 (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 

United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)). 

 Neither party filed objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review 

the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) 

(“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the 

subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must determine de 

novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected to.”). 

The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and agrees with Magistrate Judge Boyle’s 

recommendations. The Court will accept the R&R and deny the Petition. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in 

part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) 

(“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive 

further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). 

Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Bade’s R&R (Doc. 94) is ACCEPTED, 

and Defendant Brown is DISMISSED. 

 Dated this 31st day of March, 2016. 

Douglas L. Rayes
