IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Andrea Middleton, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

City of Tucson, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. CV-15-00185-TUC-JGZ (BGM)

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by United 

States Magistrate Judge Bruce G. Macdonald that recommends granting Defendant 

Greene’s Motion to Dismiss the claims pleaded against him. (Doc. 9.) No objection to the 

Report and Recommendation was filed by Plaintiff. “When no timely objection is filed, 

the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in 

order to accept the recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72, Adv. Comm. Notes to 1983 

Am. 

 The Court has reviewed the record and concludes that Magistrate Judge 

Macdonald’s recommendations are in accordance with the controlling law in this Circuit, 

and are therefore not clearly erroneous. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72; 

Johnson v. Zema Systems Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999); see also Conley v. 

Crabtree, 14 F.Supp.2d 1203, 1204 (D. Or. 1998). As thoroughly explained by 

Magistrate Judge Macdonald and as acknowledged by Plaintiff’s counsel, Miller v. 

Maxwell’s Int’l Inc., 991 F.2d 583 (9th Cir. 1993), precludes a finding of individual

liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 

1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 25) is accepted and adopted; 

2. Defendant Greene’s Motion to Dismiss (doc. 9) is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s 

claims against Defendant Greene under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964 are dismissed. As there are no remaining claims against Defendant 

Greene in his individual capacity, Defendant Greene is dismissed from the 

action without prejudice. 

 Dated this 13th day of May, 2016.
