17

Carpenter’s application for a period of disability and disability insurance benefits pursuant

18

to Title II and Title XVI of the Social Security Act. 42 U.S.C. Ch. 7. Carpenter filed the

19

instant matter seeking judicial review of that decision. In her Motion for Reversal/Remand

20

(ECF No. 14), she further requests that the Court reverse the Commissioner’s decision or,

21

in the alternative, remand for a new hearing. The Commissioner has opposed the motion

22

and cross-moved to affirm the Commissioner’s Decision (ECF No. 18). The Court referred

23

this matter to the Magistrate Judge for a report and recommendation. The Magistrate

24

Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 20) recommending that

25

Carpenter’s motion be denied and that the Commissioner’s motion be granted. The

26

Magistrate Judge further notified the parties pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2, any objection to

1

the Report and and Recommendation must be in writing and filed with the Clerk of the
