ORDER

On March 2, 2004, Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Injunction (Doc. #1). On March 22,

2005, the Court entered a preliminary injunction ordering Defendants to allow Melchor

Figueroa-Popcoa to remain in the United States “until such time as his testimony is no longer

necessary in the state prosecution” of Plaintiff. On February 13, 2007, Magistrate Judge

Jacqueline Marshall issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) (Doc. #15) stating that this

Court should convert the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction and enter final

judgment accordingly. On February 27, 2007, Plaintiff filed his Response to the R&R,

stating that he did not object to the R&R’s adoption.. For the following reasons, the R&R

will be adopted.

The Court "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). It is "clear that the

district judge must review the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations de novo if

objection is made, but not otherwise." United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121

(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (emphasis in original); Schmidt v. Johnstone, 263 F. Supp. 2d 1219,

1126 (D. Ariz. 2003) ("Following Reyna-Tapia, this Court concludes that de novo review of

factual and legal issues is required if objections are made, 'but not otherwise."'). District

courts are not required to conduct "any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject

of an objection." Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).

Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED THAT the Magistrate Judge’s R&R (Doc. #15) is ADOPTED.

The prior preliminary injunction is converted into a permanent injunction. The Clerk of

Court shall enter judgment accordingly.

DATED this 8th day of July, 2007.
