MEMORANDUM OF DECISION AND

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion to Amend. (Doc. No. 5) The matter was

referred to Magistrate Judge Jay R. Irwin for Report and Recommendation. On May 7, 2007,

the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation Re: Motion to Amend and

Screening of First Amended Complaint with this Court. (Doc. No. 12) To date, no objections

have been filed.

STANDARD OF REVIEW

When reviewing a Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, this Court “must

make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made,”

and “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 also Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d

1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454

(9th Cir. 1983)). Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s recommendation relieves the Court

of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge’s factual findings. Orand v. United

States, 602 F.2d 207 (9th Cir. 1979) (citing Campbell v. United States Dist. Court, 501 F.2d

196 (9th Cir. 1974)); see also Barilla v. Ervin, 886 F.2d 1514 (9th Cir. 1989) (overruled on

other grounds). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s conclusion “is a factor to be

weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal.” Turner v.

Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Baxter, 923 F.2d at 1394; Martinez v. Ylst, 951

F.2d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 1991) (citing McCall v. Andrus, 628 F.2d 1185, 1187 (9th Cir.

1980)).

DISCUSSION

Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and no

objections having been made by Petitioner thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts

the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. 

CONCLUSION AND ORDER

For the reasons set forth, 

IT IS ORDERED that the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation of the

Magistrate Judge (Doc. No. 12) in its entirety.

DATED this 7th day of June, 2007.
