This matter was referred to a 19 United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 20 On December 30, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations that 21 this action be dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to state a cognizable claim upon which relief 22 may be granted. (ECF No. 17.) Those findings and recommendations were served on Plaintiff 23 and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after 24 service. (Id. at 12.) Following an extension of time, Plaintiff timely filed objections on January 25 17, 2020. (ECF No. 20.) 26 In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a 27 de novo review of the case, including Plaintiff’s objections. None of Plaintiff’s objections 28 provide a legal basis on which to question the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations. 1 1 The Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations are supported by 2 the record and by proper analysis. 3 4 5 6 7 8 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The findings and recommendations issued on December 30, 2019 (ECF No. 17) are ADOPTED in full; 2. This action is DISMISSED, with prejudice, for failure to state a cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted; and 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to CLOSE this case. 9 10 11 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: December 4, 2020 SENIOR DISTRICT JUDGE 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
