ORDER MANGAL SINGH, et al., 14 Defendants. 15 16 Plaintiff’s motion for entry of default judgment was heard before the assigned Magistrate 17 Judge on July 28, 2022. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge as provided 18 by Local Rule 302(c)(19) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On November 3, 2022, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations, which 19 20 contained notice to the parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations were to be 21 filed within fourteen days. No objections were filed. The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United 22 23 States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law are 24 reviewed de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[D]eterminations 25 of law by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the district court and [the appellate] 26 court . . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be 27 supported by the record and by the proper analysis. 28 ///// 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:22-cv-00137-KJM-JDP Document 16 Filed 01/23/23 Page 2 of 2 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 2 1.
