No. CV-12-1729-PHX-SMM (ESW)

ORDER

Under reference to Magistrate Judge Eileen S. Willett is Plaintiff’s First Amended

Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging a violation of his civil rights under the

Eighth Amendment. (Doc. 8.) Currently pending before the Court is Magistrate Judge

Willett’s report and recommendation recommending that Plaintiff’s First Motion for

Sanctions be denied. (Doc. 194.) 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 judge.” 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 Judge’s recommendation within which to file specific written

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

Magistrate Judge’s recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the

Magistrate Judge’s factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal.

See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). Although failing to object to a

Report and Recommendation waives the right to challenge the Magistrate Judge’s factual

findings, it does not waive review of the Magistrate Judge’s legal conclusions. Baxter, 923

F.2d at 1394; see also Turner, 158 F.3d at 455.

objections having been made, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts the Magistrate
