ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS AND

ENTERING DEFAULT JUDGMENT

(Documents #13, #14, #18 & #21)

On May 20, 2005, Plaintiff DIRECTV, INC., a California Corporation (“DIRECTV”),

filed the instant motion for default judgment against Defendant Edmundo Santos (“Defendant”).

Defendant did not oppose the complaint, file an opposition to the motion for default judgment, or

otherwise communicate with the court. On July 14, 2005, the Magistrate Judge entered Findings

and Recommendations that recommend the court grant DIRECTV default judgment. These

Findings and Recommendations were served on the parties and contained notice that any

objections could be filed within thirty days. No party has filed objections.

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

de novo review of this case. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454

(9th Cir. 1983). Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court adopts the Findings and

Recommendations.
