. 12 Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R” or “Recommendation”) of 13 United States Magistrate Judge Carla L. Baldwin (ECF No. 4), recommending that 14 Plaintiff’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) be granted, and Plaintiff’s 15 complaint (ECF No. 1-1) be dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff had until February 2, 2021 16 to file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been filed. For this reason, and 17 as explained below, the Court adopts the R&R, and will grant Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis 18 application and dismisses Plaintiff’s complaint with prejudice. 19 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 20 recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b)(1). Where a party 21 fails to object to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, the Court is not required to 22 conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas 23 v. Arn,
