LEGAL STANDARD
This court’s review of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation is
governed by 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Rule 72 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The court reviews de novo any objections to the magistrate judge’s
recommendations with respect to dispositive matters that are timely made and
specific. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Because motions to
suppress evidence are considered dispositive matters, a magistrate judge’s
recommendation regarding such a motion is subject to de novo review. 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); see also United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 673
(1980). In conducting de novo review, this court may then “accept, reject, or
modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the
magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also United States v. Craft, 30 F.3d
1044, 1045 (8th Cir. 1994).
