ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION, DENYING
MOTION TO AFFIRM, AND
GRANTING MOTION TO REMAND
(ECF Nos. 15, 25, 28)
On December 12, 2017, Magistrate Judge Foley entered a report and recommendation
11
recommending that plaintiff Margaret Louise Simpson’s motion to remand to the Social Security
12
Administration be granted and that the defendant’s motion to affirm be denied. ECF No. 28.
13
No one filed an objection. Thus, I am not obligated to conduct a de novo review of the
14
report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (requiring district courts to “make a de novo
15
determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings to which objection is
16
made”); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (“the
17
district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if
18
objection is made, but not otherwise” (emphasis in original)).
19
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Foley’s report and
20
recommendation (ECF No. 28) is accepted, defendant’s motion to affirm (ECF No. 25) is
21
DENIED, plaintiff’s motion to remand (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED, and this matter is
22
remanded to the Social Security Administration for further proceedings consistent with
23
Magistrate Judge Foley’s report and recommendation.
