6 MELVIN FRAZIER, JR., Case No. 2:22-cv-00276-ART-DJA

7 Plaintiff, ORDER v. 8 AL PACINO, 9 Defendant. 10 11 Pro se Plaintiff Melvin Frazier Jr. brings this action under

42 U.S.C. § 12

1983. Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R” or 13 “Recommendation”) of United States Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts (ECF 14 No. 9), recommending Plaintiff’s action be dismissed for failure to apply to 15 proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. Plaintiff had until July 5, 2022 to 16 file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been filed. For this reason, 17 and as explained below, the Court adopts the R&R, and will dismiss Plaintiff’s 18 action. 19 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings 20 or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

28 U.S.C. § 636

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

474 U.S. 140, 149

(1985); see also United States v. 24 Reyna-Tapia,

328 F.3d 1114, 1116

(9th Cir. 2003) (“De novo review of the 25 magistrate judges’ findings and recommendations is required if, but only if, one 26 or both parties file objections to the findings and recommendations.”) (emphasis 27 in original); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72, Advisory Committee Notes (1983) (providing that 28 1 || the Court “need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the 2 || record in order to accept the recommendation.”). 3 Because there is no objection, the Court need not conduct de novo review, 4 || and is satisfied Judge Albregts did not clearly err. I incorporate Judge Albregts 5 || analysis by reference here. (ECF No. 9). Here, Judge Albregts recommends 6 || dismissing Plaintiff's action for failure to apply to proceed in forma pauperis or 7 || pay the filing fee. Plaintiff was previously warned that if he did not “file a complete 8 || application or pay the full $402 filing fee. . . on or before July 5, 2022, the Court 9 || will recommend dismissal of this case.” (ECF No. 7 at 1). Plaintiff failed to apply 10 || to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. 11 Therefore, the Court agrees with Judge Albregts. Having reviewed the R&R 12 || and the record in this case, the Court will adopt the R&R in full. 13 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Judge Albregts’ Report and 14 || Recommendation (ECF No. 9) is accepted and adopted in full. 15 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT this case be dismissed based upon 16 || Plaintiff's failure apply to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the full filing fee. 17 18 The Clerk of Court is directed to administratively close this case. 19 20 DATED THIS 28th Day of September 2022. 21 22 Aras plod Wen 23 ANNER.TRAUM ———<“—C*S UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
