Tate 258794 v. Hernandez
Trial Court Opinion
6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA Jonatha n Tate, ) No. CV-19-05089-PHX-SPL (JFM) ) ) 10 Plaintiff, ) ORDER vs. ) ) ) Unknown Hernandez, et al., ) ) 13 Defendants. ) ) 14 ) 15 On September 4, 2019, Plaintiff Jonathan Tate, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison Complex-Rast, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 1). Plaintiff filed a Motion to Amend (Doc. 36), which was granted (Doc. 40), and on July 16, 2020, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (Doc. 41).
19 On July 22, 2020, the Honorable James F. Metcalf, United States Magistrate Judge, issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 42), recommending that Defendant Hernandez be required to respond to the threat of safety claim in Count 1, and dismissing all other claims in Count 1, as well as Counts 2 and 3. Judge Metcalf further advised that parties that they had fourteen (14) days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R (Doc. 42 at 8-9) (citing United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
26 The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must 2| determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-taken.
4) The Court will thus adopt the R&R in full. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or | recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge | may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or | return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). Accordingly, 9 IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc.
42) is accepted and adopted by the Court.
11 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Hernandez shall be required to | respond to the threat of safety claim in Count | of the First Amended Complaint (Doc. 41).
13 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other claims in Count 1, as well as Counts 14| 2 and 3, are dismissed without prejudice.
15 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants Diaz, Gonzalez, and Shinn are dismissed without prejudice.
17 Dated this 21st day of August, 2020.
