28 U.S.C. § 20636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 21 On August 7 and September 18, 2025, the magistrate judge filed findings and 22 recommendations which were served on all parties and which contained notice that any objections 23 to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen (14) days.
