UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KIMBERLY TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

v.

AQUARION ASSET MANAGEMENT,

LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 2:24-cv-0346-JAM-JDP

ORDER

Plaintiff’s motion for entry of default judgment was submitted for decision without oral 

argument by the magistrate judge on April 23, 2024. The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(19) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

On November 18, 2024, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which contained notice to the parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations 

were to be filed within fourteen days. No objections were filed.

The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. 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 Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the 

magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). 

Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by
