TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.
On December 30, 2014, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations (ECF No. 224) 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. On January 13, 2015, Plaintiffs filed objections to the proposed findings and recommendations (ECF No. 225), which have been considered by the Court.
This Court reviews de novo those portions of the proposed findings of fact to which an objection has been made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1);
Plaintiff's objections assert that Cal. Civ. Code § 2924 is preempted by federal law and therefore Defendant cannot enforce provisions of the notes and deeds of trust at issue in this case. (ECF No. 225 at 3-5.) Plaintiff also argues that, in the alternative, a ruling on attorneys' fees should be deferred pending a resolution of Plaintiff's Ninth Circuit appeal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure ("FRCP") 54. (ECF No. 225 at 5.) Plaintiff's objections fail to make any argument not previously asserted in their opposition to Defendant's motion for attorneys' fees. (Pls.' Opp'n to Mot. for Att'y Fees, ECF No. 220.) This Court has reviewed the findings and recommendations of the magistrate judge and finds that the magistrate judge adequately addressed these issues. Plaintiff fails to prove that all aspects of California's non-judicial foreclosure scheme are preempted by federal law. Moreover, this Court agrees with the magistrate judge that the preemption question has no bearing on claims that are related to the contract between the parties, which serves as the basis for attorneys' fees. Finally, although Plaintiff is correct in noting that the Court has the discretion to withhold judgment on this issue pending Plaintiff's Ninth Circuit appeal, the Court agrees with the magistrate judge's analysis that Plaintiff has failed to provide a compelling reason for doing so.
The Court has reviewed the applicable legal standards and, good cause appearing, concludes that it is appropriate to adopt the proposed findings and recommendations in full. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. The Proposed Findings and Recommendations filed December 30, 2014, are ADOPTED;
2. Defendant's motion for attorneys' fees (ECF No. 213) is GRANTED; and
3. Defendant is awarded $146,493.50 in attorneys' fees.
