4 Plaintiff Order Adopting Report and 5 v. Recommendation and Granting Motion to Enforce Settlement 6 Baca, et al., [ECF Nos. 20, 21] 7 Defendants
8 The parties to this inmate civil-rights action entered into a binding settlement agreement 9 during a November 30, 2021, mediation session. When Plaintiff Troy Emanuel, Jr. failed to sign 10 the settlement documents by the scheduled December 30, 2021, deadline, the defendants filed a 11 motion to enforce the settlement.1 Emanuel did not respond to that motion or seek to extend his 12 deadline to do so. The magistrate judge has evaluated the merits of that unopposed motion, 13 found that the settlement agreement is binding, and recommends that I grant the motion, enforce 14 the terms of the settlement, and dismiss this action with prejudice.2 The deadline for any party to 15 object to that recommendation was April 11, 2022, and no party filed anything or asked to extend 16 the deadline to do so. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and 17 recommendation unless objections are filed.”3 Having reviewed the report and recommendation, 18 I find good cause to adopt it, and I do. 19 20
