IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON

PORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE, No. 3:21-cv-01658-AR

Plaintiff, ORDER

v.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS and DENIS MCDONOUGH, in his capacity as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,

Defendants.

HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge: Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Armistead issued a Findings and Recommendation on January 24, 2023, in which he recommends that the Court deny Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and Failure to State a Claim. F&R, ECF 38. The matter is now before the Court pursuant to

(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). Because no objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendation were timely filed, the Court is relieved of its obligation to review the record de novo. United States v. Reyna-Tapia,

(9th Cir. 2003)(en banc); see also United States v. Bernhardt,

(9th Cir. 1988)(de novo review required only for portions of Magistrate Judge’s report to which objections have been made). Having reviewed the legal principles de

novo, the Court finds no error. CONCLUSION The Court adopts Magistrate Judge Armistead’s Findings and Recommendation, ECF 38. Accordingly, Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and Failure to State a Claim is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED.
