Judge Lynch found that the regulatory violations Plaintiffs assert on summary judgment are not sufficient to establish negligence per se under Montana law. He also found there are genuine issues of material fact as to whether Defendant Buslayev violated the particular statutes at issue. Plaintiffs did not timely object and so have waived the right to de novo review of the record. 28 U.S.c. § 636(b)(1). This Court reviews the Findings and Recommendation for clear error. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach.. Inc., 656 F.2d 1309,1313 (9th Cir. 1981). Clear error exists if the Court is left with a "definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." United States v. Syrax, 235 F.3d 422, 427 (9th CiI. 2000). I can find no clear error with Judge Lynch's recommendation and therefore adopt it in full. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment: Negligence Per Se (dkt #92) is DENIED.
