Trial Court Opinion

6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

9 William Denner, No. CV-20-01313-PHX-SMM-JZB 10 Plaintiff, ORDER v. AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI LLC, et al., Defendants.

This matter is assigned to Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle for a Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 7). On March 28, 2022, the Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation with this Court.1 (Doc. 17). To date, no objections have been filed.

STANDARD OF REVIEW 1 This case is assigned to a Magistrate Judge. However, not all parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. Thus, the matter is before this Court pursuant to General Order 21-25, which states in relevant part: 22 When a United States Magistrate Judge to whom a civil action has been assigned pursuant to Local Rule 3.7(a)(1) considers dismissal to be 23 appropriate but lacks the jurisdiction to do so under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1) due to incomplete status of election by the parties to consent or not consent 24 to the full authority of the Magistrate Judge, 25 IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge will prepare a Report and Recommendation for the Chief United States District Judge or designee.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED designating the following District Court 27 Judges to review and, if deemed suitable, to sign the order of dismissal on my behalf: Phoenix/Prescott: Senior United States District Judge Stephen M. McNamee 1 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991). Parties have fourteen days from the service of a copy of the Magistrate’s recommendation within which to file specific written objections to the Court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6, 72. Failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s recommendation relieves the Court of conducting de novo review of the Magistrate Judge’s factual findings and waives all objections to those findings on appeal. See Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998). A failure to object to a Magistrate Judge’s conclusion “is a factor to be weighed in considering the propriety of finding waiver of an issue on appeal.” Id. 11 DISCUSSION 12 Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and no Objections having been made by any party thereto, the Court hereby incorporates and adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.

15 CONCLUSION 16 Accordingly, for the reasons set forth, 17 IT IS ORDERED adopting the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. (Doc. 17).

19 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting the parties’ Stipulated Motion to Dismiss.

20 (Doc. 15).

21 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of the Court to unseal the Stipulated Motion to Dismiss. (Doc. 15).

23 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED dismissing this matter as follows: 24 (a) With prejudice to Relator as to his claims against Defendant AZ-Tech 25 & Open M.R.I., L.L.C.; 26 (b) With prejudice to the United States as to Defendant AZ-Tech 27 Radiology & Open M.R.I., L.L.C. for the Covered Conduct as defined in the 28 Settlement Agreement; and, 1 (c) Without prejudice to the United States and Relator as to all remaining 2 Defendants and all other claims.

3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of the court to terminate this case.

5 Dated this 15th day of April, 20272.
