No. CV-05-1837-PHX-SMM (JM)

ORDER

On February 24, 2006, Magistrate Judge Jacqueline J. Marshall filed a Report and

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

dismissed without prejudice for failure to respond and failure to exhaust administrative

remedies. [Doc. No. 15] To date, Plaintiff has not filed objections to Judge Marshall'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's factual findings, but not necessarily the Magistrate'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'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, the Court hereby

incorporates and adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons set forth, 

IT IS ORDERED that the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate

Judge Jacqueline J. Marshall. [Doc. No. 15]

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

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