20 On April 25, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations, which were served on the parties and contained notice that the parties may file objections within the time specified therein. No party has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

Having reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the proper analysis. ] Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 2 1. The findings and recommendations filed on April 25, 2022, are adopted in | full; 4 2. Plaintiff's motion, ECF No. 48, to proceed on the first amended complaint || is granted; 6 3.
