IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Sheila T. Roundtree, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v. 

Maricopa County Special Health District 

Board of Directors, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-19-04813-PHX-DMF

ORDER 

Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint. (Doc. 17.) The matter was 

referred to Magistrate Judge Deborah M. Fine for a Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 

22.) On November 15, 2019, Magistrate Judge Fine filed a Report and Recommendation, 

recommending the Court dismiss without prejudice and without leave to amend Plaintiffs’

First Amended Complaint. (Id.) To date, no objections have been filed. 

I. STANDARD OF REVIEW 

The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 

recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. 

Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have fourteen days from the service 

of a copy of the magistrate’s recommendation within which to file specific written 

objections to the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object 

to a magistrate’s recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the 

magistrate’s factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal. See

Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a magistrate’s

conclusion “is a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an 

issue on appeal.” Id.

II. DISCUSSION 

Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Fine, and 

no objections having been made by any party thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and 

adopts Magistrate Judge Fine’s Report and Recommendation. 

III. CONCLUSION 

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED adopting the Report and Recommendation of 

Magistrate Judge Fine. (Doc. 22.) 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED dismissing without prejudice and without leave to 

amend Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint. (Doc. 17.) 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment 

accordingly. 

Dated this 6th day of January, 2020. 

Honorable Stephen M. McNamee

Senior United States District Judge
