CLAYTON E. BUTSCH, Petitioner, CASE NO. 2:25-cv-00162-RAJ-MLP v. ORDER ADOPTING REPORT
SCOTT SPEER, AND RECOMMENDATION Respondent.
Having reviewed de novo the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge 16 Michelle L. Peterson (Dkt. # 6), all objections thereto [1] , and the remaining record, the Court finds and ORDERS the following: 17 (1) The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED . (Dkt. #
18 6). 19
20
21 [1] Petitioner filed objections to Judge Michelle Peterson’s Report and Recommendation. Dkt. # 7. The
Court reviewed all ten objections and finds that no objection substantively responds to Judge Peterson’s legal conclusions regarding Petitioner’s failure to respond to the Court’s Order to Show Cause. The 22
objections consist of general statements of the law with a citation to legal authority, but there is no specific analysis or reasoning applying the law(s) to the facts of this case. The objections lack merit nonetheless. 23 No objection references the spendable balance of $648.05 in the prison trust account or why Petitioner
never paid the $5.00 filing fee.
