Case Dispositive Motions.
Any party may object to a magistrate judge's proposed findings, recommendations or
report addressing a motion or matter described in 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) or making a
recommendation for the disposition of a prisoner case or a habeas corpus petition within
fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy thereof. Such party shall file with the clerk
of court, and serve on the magistrate judge and all parties, written objections which shall
specifically identify the portions of the proposed findings, recommendations or report to which
objection is made and the basis for such objections. The briefing requirements set forth in
Local Rule 72.2 shall apply. A judge shall make a de novo determination of those portions of
the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made and
may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by
the magistrate judge. The judge, however, need conduct a new hearing only in his or her
discretion or where required by law, and may consider the record developed before the
magistrate judge, making his or her own determination on the basis of that record. The judge
may also receive further evidence, recall witnesses or recommit the matter to the magistrate
judge with instructions.
