NEVADA, et al.,

Defendants.

Roeser, Judge Thomas Gregory, Douglas County, Bernadette Smith, and James Halsey filed 

responses (ECF Nos. 67–70).

This Court reviews de novo those portions of the proposed findings of fact to which 

objection has been made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore 

Business Machines, 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982). As 

to any portion of the proposed findings of fact to which no objection has been made, the Court 

assumes its correctness and decides the motions on the applicable law. See Orand v. United 

States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are 

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). 

Having carefully reviewed the entire file under the applicable legal standards, the Court 

finds the Findings and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by the magistrate 

judge’s analysis. In addition, the court will order plaintiff to show cause why the remaining 

defendants should not be dismissed due to his failure to timely serve the complaint. (See ECF 

No. 46 (September 18, 2019 order granting Plaintiff 60 days from the date of this order in which 

to submit service documents for defendants Kevin Walsh, Kay Ellen Armstrong, and Charles 

Duke).)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations filed February 13, 2020 (ECF No. 65), are 

adopted in full;

2. Defendant Matthew Ence’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 6) is granted per 

plaintiff’s request at the December 4, 2019 hearing;

2. Defendant Lori London’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 14) is granted per 

plaintiff’s request at the December 4, 2019 hearing;

3. Defendant Richard Cornell’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 8) is granted without 

leave to amend;

4. Defendants Douglas County, Nevada, Bernadette Smith, and James Halsey’s 

motion to dismiss (ECF No. 10) is granted without leave to amend;

5. Defendants City of South Lake Tahoe, Andrew Eissinger, Jake Herminghaus, and 

Shannon Laney’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 13) is granted without leave to amend;

6. Defendants Thomas Gregory and Terri Roeser’s motion to dismiss (ECF Nos. 18,
