Benedict Goekjian v. City of Portland

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON BENEDICT GOEKJIAN, Case No. 3:25-cv-00727-AR Plaintiff, ORDER v. CITY OF PORTLAND, Defendant.

BAGGIO, District Judge: Magistrate Judge Jeff Armistead issued a Findings and Recommendation on December 16, 2025, in which he recommends that the Court dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint with leave to amend. F&R, ECF No. 18. The matter is now before the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(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, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (holding 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 [18].

Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss or for a More Definite Statement [7] is GRANTED, and Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint as recommended by Judge Armistead.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 30th day of March, 2026.

AMY M. BAGG United States District Judge —ORDER
