IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON PORTLAND DIVISION

JULIANNA MARIE LEWIS, Case No. 3:18-cv-00184-MK ORDER AND OPINION Plaintiff, vs. RICHARD IVES; Warden FCI Sheridan; Mary M. Mitchell, BOP Regional Director, UNITED STATES OFAMERICA, UNITED STATES BUREAUOF PRISONS, AND DOES 1-10, Defendants. AIKEN, District Judge: Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai has filed his Findings and Recommendation (“F&R”) (doc. 69) recommending that defendants; Motion for to Dismiss be GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. This case is now before me. See

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate judge’s F&R, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate judge’s report. See

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore

Business Machines, Inc.,

656 F.2d 1309, 1313

(9th Cir. 1981), cert denied,

455 U.S. 920

(1982). Defendants have filed timely objections (doc. 71), and plaintiff has filed a timely response. (doc. 72). Thus, I review the F&R de novo. The Court has reviewed the objections and response and finds no error in Judge Kasubhai’s analysis. Thus, the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Kasubhai’s F&R (doc. 69) in its entirety. Accordingly, defendants' Motion to Dismiss (doc. 49) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Plaintiff’s Fifth Amendment

Bivens claim for damages, her Affordable Care Act claim against BOP and the United States, and her Federal Torts Claim Act claim are dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff’s Administrative Procedures Act claim is dismissed without prejudice. Defendants’ motion is denied in all other respects. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated this _2_7_t_h_ day of May, 2020.
