IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON

EUGENE DIVISION

RADISH SEED GROWERS’ ASSOCIATION, Case No. 6:17-cv-00716-MK an Oregon cooperative; MID VALLEY OPINION AND ORDER FARMS, INC., and Oregon corporation; and KCK FARMS LLC, an Oregon limited liability Company,

Plaintiffs,

vs.

NORTHWEST BANK, a Pennsylvania state- chartered savings association formerly known as Northwest Savings Bank,

Defendant.

AIKEN, District Judge: On April 29, 2019, Magistrate Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai issued his Findings and Recommendation (F&R) (doc. 66), concluding that this Court’s 2017 denial of defendant’s Motion to Strike was a final appealable ruling under

and recommending that defendant Northwest Bank’s Renewed Special Motion to Strike (doc. 59) be denied as moot. Defendant filed timely objections. Accordingly, the Court must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Dawson v. Marshall,

(9th Cir. 2009); United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). I have carefully considered plaintiff’s objections and conclude there is no basis to modify the F&R. I have also reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and find no errors in Judge Kasubhai’s F&R. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Judge Kasubhai’s F&R (doc. 66). IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this _2_7_t_h_ day of May 2020.
