UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARMOND SARKIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

YOLO COUNTY PUBLIC AGENCY

RISK MANAGEMENT INSURANCE

AUTHORITY, JILL COOK, individually

and in her official capacity, and RONALD

J. MARTINEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-01097-TLN-JDP 

ORDER

On July 31, 2023, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein which 

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

recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Defendants filed objections on August 

14, 2023, and they were considered by the undersigned.

The Court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United States, 602 

F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. 

See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations of law by the 

magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). 

Having reviewed the file, the Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by 

the record and by the proper analysis.
