IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RUDY GARCIA, No. 2:06-cv-0826-MCE-EFB

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER

LARRY GAINES LIVING TRUST,

QUASSAM TARIQ,

Defendants.

__________________________________/

This case was referred to the magistrate judge pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(19) for

consideration of plaintiff’s motion for entry of default judgment. On April 17, 2007, 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 ten days. No objections were filed.

Accordingly, the court presumes any findings of fact are correct. See Orland v. United

States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1999). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are

reviewed de novo. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir.

1983).
