O R D E R


Magistrate Judge Donald C. Ashmanskas filed Findings and Recommendation (#31) on March 26, 2001, in the above entitled case. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a magistrate judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the magistrate judge's report. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Business Machines, Inc., 656 F.2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 920 (1982).

Plaintiff has timely filed objections. I have, therefore, given de novo review of Magistrate Judge Ashmanskas's rulings.

I find no error. Accordingly, I ADOPT Magistrate Judge Ashmanskas's Findings and Recommendation (#31) dated March 22, 2001, in its entirety. Defendants' motion (#18) for summary judgment is GRANTED with regard to the initial stop for a traffic violation, the impounding of plaintiff's vehicle, the City and County's liability under Section 1983, Johnston and Hahn's liability for the state tort claims, and the claim for malicious prosecution, and DENIED in all other aspects.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
