MOHAMAD FARSI, Plaintiff, v. STERLING JEWELERS, INC., Defendant.

OPINION AND ORDER

MICHAEL MOSMAN, District Judge

On May 21, 2007, Magistrate Judge Papak issued Findings and Recommendation ("F R") (# 21) in the above-captioned case recommending defendants' motion to stay (#9) be GRANTED. Plaintiff filed timely objections on June 4, to which defendants responded on June 17.

The magistrate judge only makes recommendations to the district court, to which any party may file written objections. The court is not bound by the recommendations of the magistrate judge, but retains responsibility for making the final determination. Where objections have been made, I usually apply de novo review. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). However, where objections are made on non-dispositive pretrial findings I conduct a clearly erroneous review. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). These objections fall under the latter category. I am not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the F R to which no objections are made. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003).

Upon review of plaintiff's objections, I agree with Judge Papak's analysis and recommendation. Thus, I ADOPT the F R as my own opinion. This action is STAYED pending arbitration. Defendant is directed to inform the court whether it is now seeking dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
