6 FLAVIO MORENO, Case No. 3:19-cv-00330-MMD-CLB

7 Plaintiff, ORDER v. 8 KIM ADAMSON, et al., 9 Defendants. 10 11 Pro se Plaintiff Flavio Moreno brings this action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

. Before 12 the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R” or “Recommendation”) of United 13 States Magistrate Judge Carla L. Baldwin (ECF No. 45), recommending the Court deny 14 Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction (ECF No. 21 (“Injunction Motion”)). Plaintiff had 15 until February 26, 2021 to file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been 16 filed. For this reason, and as explained below, the Court adopts the R&R, and will deny 17 the Injunction Motion. 18 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 19 recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1). Where a party 20 fails to object to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, the Court is not required to 21 conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas 22 v. Arn,

474 U.S. 140, 149

(1985); see also United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

328 F.3d 1114

, 23 1116 (9th Cir. 2003) (“De novo review of the magistrate judges’ findings and 24 recommendations is required if, but only if, one or both parties file objections to the 25 findings and recommendations.”) (emphasis in original); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72, Advisory 26 Committee Notes (1983) (providing that the Court “need only satisfy itself that there is no 27 clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.”). 1 Because there is no objection, the Court need not conduct de novo review, and is 2 satisfied Judge Baldwin did not clearly err. Here, Judge Baldwin recommends denying 3 the Injunction Motion because: (1) Plaintiff has not shown he will suffer irreparable harm 4 if he does not immediately receive Direct Acting Antiviral (“DAA”) drugs because he only 5 provided out of date treatment notes in support of the Injunction Motion that showed he 6 was receiving some treatment for his Hepatitis C; (2) his request is moot because he is 7 in line to receive DAA treatment under an updated policy; and (3) a consent decree that 8 the Nevada Department of Corrections entered into will additionally ensure Plaintiff will 9 receive DAA treatment. (ECF No. 45 at 5-6.) The Court agrees with Judge Baldwin. 10 Having reviewed the R&R and the record in this case, the Court will adopt the R&R in full. 11 It is therefore ordered that Judge Baldwin’s Report and Recommendation (ECF 12 No. 45) is accepted and adopted in full. 13 It is further ordered that Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction (ECF No. 21) is 14 denied. 15 DATED THIS 8th Day of March 2021. 16 17
