Wilmore L. Washington III v. Farmington Estates Owners Association; Northwest...

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON WILMORE L WASHINGTON III, Case No. 3:21-cv-01032-YY Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS v. FARMINGTON ESTATES OWNERS ASSOCIATION; NORTHWEST COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT, LLC; SARA BERG; MICHAEL ORRANTIA; KATIE PATTERSON; BRIAN HESS; JENNIFER LAYTON, THE MANAGEMENT TRUST; NATALIE SEIBEL, Defendants.

IMMERGUT, District Judge.

On November 7, 2025, Magistrate Judge You issued her Findings and Recommendations (“F&Rs”), ECF 188, 190, recommending that this Court deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Amend and grant Defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment. This Court has reviewed de novo the portion of the F&Rs to which Plaintiff objected. This Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge You’s F&Rs.

Under the Federal Magistrates Act (“Act”), as amended, 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)(C). If a party objects to a magistrate judge’s F&R, “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. But the court is not required to review, de novo or under any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the F&R that are not objected to. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149–50 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). Nevertheless, the Act “does not preclude further review by the district judge, sua sponte” whether de novo or under another standard. Thomas, 474 U.S. at 154.

This Court has reviewed de novo the portions of Judge You’s F&R to which Plaintiff objected. Judge You’s F&Rs, ECF 188, 190, are adopted in full. This Court DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Amend, GRANTS Defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment, and DISMISSES this case with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 19th day of February, 2026.
