NOTICE
Pursuant to Local Rules IB 3-1 and IB 3-2, a party may object to orders and reports and
recommendations issued by the magistrate judge. Objections must be in writing and filed with the Clerk
of the Court within fourteen days. LR IB 3-1, 3-2. The Supreme Court has held that the courts of appeal
may determine that an appeal has been waived due to the failure to file objections within the specified
time. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985). This circuit has also held that (1) failure to file
objections within the specified time and (2) failure to properly address and brief the objectionable issues
waives the right to appeal the District Court's order and/or appeal factual issues from the order of the
District Court. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 1991); Britt v. Simi Valley United Sch.
Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Pursuant to LR IA 3-1, plaintiffs must immediately file written
notification with the court of any change of address. The notification must include proof of service upon
each opposing party’s attorney, or upon the opposing party if the party is unrepresented by counsel.
Failure to comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action.
