The objection ails to speciically or adequately state any grounds why the Deendants' motion should not be granted or why Plaintif is entitled to summary judgment. Although pro se litigants are aforded a degree of liberal construction in their ilings, the Cout cannot raise arguments or Gotschall. When neither party properly objects, this Court reviews the Magisrte's Findings and Recommendation or clear error. cDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is let with a "deinite and irm conviction that a mistake has been committed." nited ates v. Syrx, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th Cir. 2000). Ater reviewing the Findings and Recommendation, this Court does not ind tht the Magistrate committed clear error.
