ORDER
This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. On December 19, 2025, the magistrate
judge filed findings and recommendations herein which were served on the parties
and which contained notice that any objections to the findings and recommendations
were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff filed objections on December 29, 2025,
and they were considered by the undersigned.
The court presumes that any findings of fact are correct. See Orand v. United
States, 602 F.2d 207, 208 (9th Cir. 1979). The magistrate judge’s conclusions of law
are reviewed de novo. See Robbins v. Carey, 481 F.3d 1143, 1147 (9th Cir. 2007)
(“[D]eterminations of law by the magistrate judge are reviewed de novo by both the
district court and [the appellate] court . . . .”). Having reviewed the file, the court finds
