5 JASMINE PAUL SANCHEZ, Case No. 3:22-cv-00141-ART-CLB 6 Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 7 v. RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 35) AND GRANTING MOTION FOR 8 R. SAUCEDO, et al., SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF NO. 28)
9 Defendants. 10 11 Pro se Plaintiff Jasmine Paul Sanchez, an inmate at Ely State Prison, 12 brings this action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983against Defendants, William Reubart 13 and Ricardo Saucedo, alleging excessive force and unsafe prison conditions. 14 Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States 15 Magistrate Judge Carla Baldwin (ECF No. 35), recommending the Court grant 16 Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Mr. Sanchez originally had until 17 August 29, 2023, to file an objection to Judge Baldwin’s R&R and was given 18 several months’ worth of extensions. (See ECF Nos. 35 at 11; 37; 44.) As of today, 19 no objection has been filed. For this reason, and as explained below, the Court 20 adopts the R&R and grants Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 21 The Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings 22 or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Where 23 a party fails to object to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, the Court is not 24 required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of 25 an objection.” Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140, 149(1985); see also United States v. 26 Reyna-Tapia,
328 F.3d 1114, 1116(9th Cir. 2003) (“De novo review of the 27 magistrate judges’ findings and recommendations is required if, but only if, one 28 or both parties file objections to the findings and recommendations.”) (emphasis 1 || in original); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72, Advisory Committee Notes (1983) (providing that 2 || the Court “need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the 3 || record in order to accept the recommendation.”). 4 Because there is no objection, the Court need not conduct de novo review 5 || and is satisfied Judge Baldwin did not clearly err. Judge Baldwin recommends 6 || summary judgment in favor of Defendants because there is no genuine issue of 7 || material fact as to whether Mr. Sanchez was subject to excessive force or unsafe 8 || prison conditions. Mr. Sanchez has provided the Court with no evidence to 9 || support his claims, has not contested Defendants’ motion, and has not objected 10 |} to Judge Baldwin’s R&R. Further, the evidence provided by Defendants 11 || demonstrates that the instances of which Mr. Sanchez complains do not 12 || constitute excessive force or unsafe prison conditions, as a matter of law. 13 Having reviewed the R&R and the record in this case, the Court is satisfied 14 || that Judge Baldwin did not clearly err and adopts the R&R in full. 15 It is therefore ordered that Judge Baldwin’s Report and Recommendation 16 || (ECF No. 35) is accepted and adopted in full. 17 It is further ordered that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF 18 || No. 28) is granted. 19 The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and close this 20 || case. 21 22 Dated this 26tt day of March 2024. 23 24 Ans jlosead Jen 25 ANNE R.
