IMMERGUT, District Judge.
On November 15, 2024, Magistrate Judge Beckerman issued her Findings and
Recommendation (“F&R”), ECF 86. The F&R recommends that this Court grant in part and
deny in part Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File a Fourth Amended Complaint, ECF 80. No party
filed objections.
Under the Federal Magistrates Act (“Act”), as amended, 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)(C). If a party objects to a magistrate judge’s F&R, “the court shall make a
de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or
recommendations to which objection is made.” Id. But the court is not required to review, de
novo or under any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the F&R that are not
objected to. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149–50 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328
F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). Nevertheless, the Act “does not preclude further
review by the district judge, sua sponte” whether de novo or under another standard. Thomas,
474 U.S. at 154.
No party having filed objections, this Court has reviewed the F&R and accepts Judge
Beckerman’s conclusions. The F&R, ECF 86, is adopted in full. Accordingly, this Court
GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File a Fourth Amended
Complaint, ECF 80.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 12th day of December, 2024.
