ORDER

No. CV-15-00349-TUC-RM

Carolyn W Colvin,

13

Defendant.

15

On August 2, 2016, Magistrate Judge D. Thomas Ferraro issued a Report and

16

Recommendation (Doc. 18) recommending that this Court grant Plaintiff’s request to

17

reverse the Commissioner of Social Security’s (“Commissioner”) final decision and

18

remand to the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) to conduct further proceedings. No

19

objections to the Report and Recommendation were filed, and the time for filing

20

objections has expired.

21

A district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions” of a

22

magistrate judge’s “report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which

23

objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The advisory committee’s notes to Rule

24

72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state that, “[w]hen no timely objection is

25

filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record

26

in order to accept the recommendation” of a magistrate judge. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)

27

advisory committee’s note to 1983 addition. See also Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170

28

F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999) (“If no objection or only partial objection is made, the

1

district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.”); Prior v. Ryan,

2

CV 10-225-TUC-RCC, 2012 WL 1344286, at *1 (D. Ariz. Apr. 18, 2012) (reviewing for

3

clear error unobjected-to portions of Report and Recommendation).

4

The Court has reviewed Judge Ferraro’s Report and Recommendation, the parties’

5

briefs, and the record.

6

Recommendation.

The Court finds no error in Judge Ferraro’s Report and

7

Accordingly,

8

IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 18) is accepted

9

and adopted in full. The Commissioner’s final decision is reversed, and this case is

10

remanded for further proceedings consistent with this Order and with Judge Ferraro’s

11

Report and Recommendation.

12

accordingly and close this case.

13

The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment

Dated this 31st day of August, 2016.
