The following excerpt is from Coleman v. Wilson, 912 F. Supp. 1282 (E.D. Cal. 1995):
The court is not bound to adopt the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations; on the contrary, the court must exercise "sound judicial discretion" in making its own determination on the record. United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 675-76, 100 S.Ct. 2406, 2412-13, 65 L.Ed.2d 424 (1980). The court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(C); Remsing, 874 F.2d at 617.
