IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON

EUGENE DIVISION

MARIA ORTIZ BAZAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. 6:19-cv-01823-MK

v. ORDER

COLEMAN INDUSTRIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants. _______________________________________ AIKEN, District Judge. This case comes before the Court on a Findings and Recommendation (“F&R”) filed by Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai on September 21, 2021. ECF No. 63. Judge Kasubhai recommends that Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, ECF No. 24, be GRANTED on all claims as to Defendant WAFLA but DENIED as to claims I, II, and III as to the Coleman Defendants. Under the Federal Magistrates Act, the Court may “accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b)(1). If a party files objections to a magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations, “the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” Id.; Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). For those portions of a magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations to

which neither party has objected, the Act does not prescribe any standard of review. See Thomas v. Arn,

(1985) (“There is no indication that Congress, in enacting [the Act], intended to require a district judge to review a magistrate’s report to which no objections are filed.”). Although no review is required in the absence of objections, the Magistrates Act “does not preclude further review by the district judge[] sua sponte . . . under a de novo or any other standard.”

. The Advisory Committee Notes to Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) recommend that “[w]hen no timely

objection is filed,” the court should review the recommendation for “clear error on the face of the record.” In this case, Defendants have filed Objections, ECF No. 65, and Plaintiffs have filed a Response to Defendants’ Objections, ECF No. 67. The Court has reviewed the filings and the record and finds no error. The F&R is ADOPTED. Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, ECF No. 24, is GRANTED in part and DENIED in

part as set forth in the F&R. It is so ORDERED and DATED this _1_5_t_h_ day of February 2022.
