1 2 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 5 * * * 6 OPAL WATSON, Case No. 2:24-cv-01316-RFB-NJK 7 Plaintiff, ORDER 8 v. 9 GOODWIN COLLEGE OF DREXEL, et al., 10 Defendants. 11 12 Before the Court for consideration is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of the 13 Honorable Nancy J. Koppe, United States Magistrate Judge, dated July 29, 2024 (ECF No. 4). For 14 the reasons explained below, the Court adopts the R&R in full. 15 A district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or 16 recommendations made by the magistrate.”

(b)(1). A party may file specific 17 written objections to the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge.

636(b)(1); Local Rule IB 3-2(a). When written objections have been filed, the district court is 19 required to “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed 20 findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”

(b)(1); see also Local 21 Rule IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, a district court is not required to conduct 22 “any review,” de novo1 or otherwise, of the report and recommendations of a magistrate judge. 23 Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). No objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed 24 the record in this case and concurs with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendations. 25 /// 26 27 1 De novo review simply means a review by one court using the lower court’s record but 28 reviewing the evidence and the law without deference to the lower court’s findings and rulings. See Appeal, Black’s Law Dictionary (11th ed. 2019). ] Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 4) is ADOPTED in full and this case is 3 | DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk of Court will close the case. Plaintiff may move to 4| reopen this case and vacate the judgment by filing a motion for reconsideration of this order. In 5 | this motion, the Plaintiff is required to explain what circumstances delayed his objection to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. If the Court finds there to be good cause or a 7 | reasonable explanation therein, the Court will reopen the case and vacate the judgment. 8 9! DATED: December 13, 2024. 10 4 S 7 1] RICHARD F.
