UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HMONG I, a fictitious name, on behalf of 

herself and as representative of members of 

a class of similarly situated claimants,

Plaintiff,

v.

LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC 

REPUBLIC, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-02349 TLN AC

ORDER

This motion for default judgment was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge by

Local Rule 302(c)(19).

On May 17, 2016, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 

were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any objections to the 

findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty-one days.1 (ECF No. 34.) Plaintiff 

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 39.)

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper 

analysis.

 

1 The magistrate judge’s previously filed findings and recommendations were vacated. (ECF Nos. 30 & 34.)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed May 17, 2016 (ECF No. 34), are adopted in 

full.

2. Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (ECF No. 19) is denied in its entirety.

3. The Court hereby strikes the first amended complaint filed March 30, 2016 (ECF No. 

31), due to Plaintiff’s failure to request leave to amend in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 15(a)(2). Because it appears the pending motion for default judgment (ECF No. 36)

and motion for class certification (ECF No. 35) are based upon the amended complaint, those 

motions are denied as moot. 

4. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, in writing within 30 days of this order, why this case 

should not be dismissed for lack of federal jurisdiction. 

Dated: June 13, 2016
