ORDER
The Honorable Janice Stewart, United States Magistrate Judge, filed Findings and Recommendation on July 8, 2008. The matter is before this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). Both plaintiff and defendants have filed objections.
When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate's Findings and Recommendation concerning a dispositive motion or prisoner petition, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982).
Having given a de novo review of the issues raised in the objections to the Findings and Recommendation, I find no error.
Accordingly, I ADOPT Judge Stewart's Findings and Recommendation (#72). Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (#34) is DENIED, and plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment against Marion County (#40) is DENIED.
