Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Petition for Minor’s Compromise for
23
Plaintiff’s T.B., L.B., C.B., and B.B. ECF No. 99 (“Petition”). The Court referred the
24
matter to Magistrate Judge Brian J. White for a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”).
25
ECF No. 100. The R&R recommends granting the Petition. ECF No. 102 (“R&R”). The
26
parties were instructed to file written objections to the R&R within 14 days of the date of
27
the order. R&R at 6.
28
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) set forth a district
2 ||judge’s duties in connection with a magistrate judge’s R&R. The district judge must “make
3 de novo determination of those portions of the report ... to which objection is made[,]”
4 “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations
5 made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also United States v. Remsing,
6 F.2d 614, 617 (9" Cir. 1989). However, in the absence of objection(s), the Court “need
7 || only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the
8 ||recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee note to 1983 amendment; see
9 || also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9" Cir. 2003).
10 On December 30, 2025, the parties filed a Joint Stipulation Waiving Objection
11 ||Period on R&R and indicated that neither party intended to file objections or otherwise
12 || oppose the R&R. ECF No. 103. There being no objections to the R&R, the Court having
13 ||reviewed the R&R, finds it thorough, well-reasoned, and contains no clear error.
14 || Accordingly, the Court hereby: (1) ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Brian J. White’s R&R; (2)
15 || APPROVES the Petition for Minor’s Compromise and Finds the Proposed Settlement Fair
16 || and Reasonable.
17 IT IS SO ORDERED.
18 || Dated: January 5, 2026
