ORDER

Pending before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Irwin’s Report and

Recommendation (“R&R”) regarding pro se Plaintiff Mark Ira Tannenbaum's First Amended

Complaint (doc. 25). The R&R screens the complaint, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1951A,

and provides recommendations to this Court. R&R at 2-10.

 The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had ten days to file objections to

the R&R and that the failure to timely object to any determination of the Magistrate Judge

would be considered a waiver of the right to review of such determination. Id. at 10; see also

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114,

1121 (9th Cir. 2003). The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its

obligation to review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S.

140, 149 (1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue

that is not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) (“The district judge . . . shall

make a de novo determination . . . of any portion of the magistrate judge’s disposition to

which specific written objection has been made[.]”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed

the R&R and finds that it is well-taken. The Court will accept the R&R in its entirety. See
