YI LIN ZHENG v. THE STANDARD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

Trial Court Opinion

1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA YI LIN ZHENG, Plaintiff, Case No.: 2:25-cv-00573-GMN-MDC vs. 6 ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND THE STANDARD FIRE INSURANCE RECOMMENDATION COMPANY, Defendant.

10 Pending before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), (ECF No. 20), of United States Magistrate Judge Maximiliano D. Couvillier, III. The R&R recommends that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, (ECF No. 8), be GRANTED, and that Plaintiff’s second, third, fourth, and fifth claims be DISMISSED without prejudice. (R&R 7:3–4, ECF No. 20). The R&R further recommends that Plaintiff be granted until January 12, 2026, to either file a stipulation to amend her complaint or a motion for leave to amend her complaint, together with a copy of the proposed amendment. (Id. 7:5–7).

17 A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a United States Magistrate Judge made pursuant to Local Rule IB 1-4. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); D. Nev. R. IB 3-2. Upon the filing of such objections, the Court must make a de novo determination of those portions to which objections are made if the Magistrate Judge’s findings and recommendations concern matters that may not be finally determined by a magistrate judge. D. Nev. R. IB 3-2(b). The Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D. Nev. R. IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, the Court is not required to conduct “any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 1 |) 140, 149 (1985) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Indeed, the Ninth Circuit has recognized that a || district court is not required to review a magistrate judge’s R&R where no objections have been || filed. See, e.g., United States v. Reyna—Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1122 (9th Cir. 2003).

4 Here, no objections were filed, and the deadline to do so has passed. (See ECF No. 20) || (setting a December 31, 2025, deadline for objections). The Court thus adopts the R&R in full.

6 Accordingly, 7 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 20), is || ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in full.

9 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, (ECF No. 8), is || GRANTED.

11 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's second, third, fourth, and fifth claims are || DISMISSED without prejudice.

13 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file, no later than January 12, 2026, || either a stipulation to amend her complaint or a motion for leave to amend her complaint, || together with a copy of the proposed amendment.

17 DATED this 7 day of January, 2026.
