Defendant.

17

The plaintiff, Connie Cox-Cairns, filed this action seeking judicial review of the

18

Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of her application for disability insurance benefits

19

and supplemental security income. Cox-Cairns moves for reversal and remand (ECF Nos.

20

21, 22). The Commissioner opposes the motion, and moves to affirm the denial of benefits

21

(ECF Nos. 26, 27). The Magistrate Judge has issued a Report and Recommendation (ECF

22

No. 30). The Magistrate Judge recommends that Cox-Cairns’ motion be denied, and that

23

the Commissioner’s motion be granted.

24

Cox-Cairns was notified that any objection to the Report and Recommendation must

25

be in writing, and must be filed within fourteen days of service of the Report and

26

Recommendation. She was further notified that a failure to file timely objections waives the

1

right to appeal the decision of this Court. Cox-Cairns has not objected to the Magistrate

2

Judge’s findings or to the recommendation that her motion be denied, and that the

3

Commissioner’s motion be granted.

The Court has reviewed the pleadings and the motions of the parties, as well as the

Security Administration (ECF No. 21) is DENIED;
