UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 14, 2013, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that Plaintiffs' 

motion for default judgment be granted. (Doc. 13.) These Findings and Recommendations were 

served on all parties appearing in the action and contained notice that any objections were to be filed 

within twenty-eight (28) days after service of the order.1 No objections were filed. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de 

novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court concludes that the 

Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis.

The Findings and Recommendations were served by mail on Defendant at his last known address on 

July 22, 2013. The objection period was reset from the date of service of the Findings and 

Recommendations.
