Is there any case law where a magistrate judge assigned a first assignment of error?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Black v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 119 F.3d 5 (9th Cir. 1997):
Black's first assignment of error is not really an error, as no reversible problem arises even if a district court adopts a party's proposed findings of fact "verbatim." Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, 571-72 (1985). In any event, here it is obvious that the magistrate judge's 10-page supplemental findings are his own.
