MARTIN REIDINGER, District Judge.
On March 16, 2017, the Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, brought this action against the Defendant Tribal Casino Gaming Enterprise, asserting claims of employment discrimination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634 ("ADEA"). [Doc. 1]. The Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on April 5, 2017. [Doc. 6].
Thereafter, the Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. [Doc. 15]. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the Standing Orders of Designation of this Court, the Honorable Dennis L. Howell, United States Magistrate Judge, was designated to consider the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss and to submit a recommendation for its disposition. On September 8, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Memorandum and Recommendation, which recommended that the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss be granted. [Doc. 23].
On March 31, 2014, the Plaintiff filed a pleading entitled "Plaintiff's Response to Court's Memorandum and Recommendation" [Doc. 24], which the Court construes as Objections to the Memorandum and Recommendation.
The Federal Magistrate Act requires a district court to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specific proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In order "to preserve for appeal an issue in a magistrate judge's report, a party must object to the finding or recommendation on that issue with sufficient specificity so as reasonably to alert the district court of the true ground for the objection."
The Plaintiff has filed what purports to be objections to the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation. The Plaintiff's filing, however, does not identify any specific error in the Magistrate Judge's proposed conclusions of law. Rather, the Plaintiff simply restates the allegations made in her Amended Complaint and the arguments asserted in her Response to the Defendant Motion to Dismiss. These kinds of objections do not warrant a de novo review of the Magistrate Judge's reasoning.
After a careful review of the Memorandum and Recommendation, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's proposed conclusions of law (particularly including the jurisdictional issues addressed therein) are correct and are consistent with current case law, including Supreme Court precedent. Accordingly, the Court hereby accepts the Magistrate Judge's recommendation that the Defendant's motion to dismiss should be granted on the grounds of tribal sovereign immunity.
Having conducted a careful review of the Memorandum and Recommendation, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's proposed conclusions of law are supported by and are consistent with current case law.
Accordingly,
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case.
