4 JAMES MOSLEY, Case No. 3:22-CV-00408-ART-CLB
5 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND v. RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 9) 6 VALERIE ADAIR, et al., 7 Defendants. 8 9 Pro se Plaintiff James Mosley (“Mosley”) brings this action under 42 U.S.C. 10 § 1983. Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R” or 11 “Recommendation”) of United States Magistrate Judge Carla Baldwin (ECF No. 12 9), recommending Mosley’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 7) 13 be denied as moot, and his complaint (ECF No. 1-1) be dismissed without 14 prejudice and without leave to amend. Plaintiff had until December 13, 2022 to 15 file an objection. To date, no objection to the R&R has been filed. For this reason, 16 and as explained below, the Court adopts the R&R, and will deny Mosley’s in 17 forma pauperis application as moot and dismiss his complaint without prejudice 18 and without leave to amend. 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 Baldwin did not clearly err. Here, Mosley sues district 5 || court judges, his defense attorney, and district attorney, all of whom were 6 || involved in Mosley’s underlying criminal case and conviction. (See ECF No. 1-1 7 || at 2-6). In addition to the judges’ immunity under
42 U.S.C. § 1983, § 1983 is 8 || not the proper vehicle for a lawsuit which challenges the legality or duration of 9 || Mosley’s custody. See Heck v. Humphrey, 512, U.S. 477, 481 (1994). Judge 10 |} Baldwin recommends Mosley’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 11 || 7) be denied as moot, and his complaint (ECF No. 1-1) be dismissed without 12 || prejudice and without leave to amend. (ECF No. 9 at 5). The Court agrees with 13 || Judge Baldwin. Having reviewed the R&R and the record in this case, the Court 14 || will adopt the R&R in full. 15 It is therefore ordered that Judge Baldwin’s Report and Recommendation 16 || (ECF No. 9) is accepted and adopted in full. 17 It is further ordered that that Mosley’s application to proceed in forma 18 || pauperis, (ECF No. 7) is denied as moot. 19 It is further ordered that Mosley’s Complaint, (ECF No. 1-1) is dismissed 20 || without prejudice and without leave to amend. 21 It is further ordered that Mosley’s second application to proceed in forma 22 || pauperis (ECF No. 10) is denied as moot. 23 The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to file Mosley’s Complaint (ECF 24 || No. 1-1) and close this case. 25 DATED THIS 3rd Day of April 2023. 26 27 Ar. posed 28 ANNE R.
