UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Patricia Werner initiated this action by filing a complaint on August 12, 2013 against 

Advance Newhouse Partnership, LLC and Brighthouse Networks. On December 17, 2013, the

Magistrate Judge recommended Plaintiff’s claim for retaliation raised in her Third Amended 

Complaint be dismissed, and that the action proceed only on her claims for gender discrimination and 

a hostile work environment in violation of Title VII and for violation of the Equal Pay Act. (Doc. 12.)

The Findings and Recommendations provided Plaintiff with fourteen days from the date of 

service, or until December 31, 2013, to file any objections. To date, Plaintiff has not filed objections to 

the recommendation that the claim be dismissed. In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 

(b)(1)(C) and Britt v. Simi Valley United School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983), this Court 

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

that the Findings and Recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis.
