ORDER

MARCO A. HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge.

Magistrate Judge Coffin issued a Findings and Recommendation [14] on September 11, 2014, in which he recommends that this Court grant Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint [8] and dismiss sua sponte defendants Michael D. Schrunk, Irene B. Taylor, and "the Office of Public Defense Service." The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).

When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Findings & Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate Judge's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9th Cir. 2009); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc).

I have carefully considered Plaintiff's objections and conclude there is no basis to modify the Findings & Recommendation. I have also reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and find no other errors in the Magistrate Judge's Findings & Recommendation.

CONCLUSION

The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Coffin's Findings & Recommendation [14]. Accordingly, defendants Michael D. Schrunk, Irene B. Taylor, and "the Office of Public Defense Service" are dismissed; and Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint [8] is granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
