Case No.: 2:17-cv-03118-APG-NJK
Order Accepting Report and
Recommendation, Denying Motion to
Remand, and Granting Motion to Affirm
[ECF Nos. 19, 21, 27]

Defendant
On November 15, 2019, Magistrate Judge Koppe recommended that I deny plaintiff

9 Sonia Gonzalez’s motion to remand and grant defendant Andrew Saul’s motion to affirm. ECF
10 No. 27. Gonzalez did not file an objection. Thus, I am not obligated to conduct a de novo
11 review of the report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (requiring district courts to
12 “make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings to
13 which objection is made”); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)
14 (en banc) (“the district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations
15 de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise” (emphasis in original)).
16

I THEREFORE ORDER that Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and recommendation

17 (ECF No. 27) is accepted, plaintiff Sonia Gonzalez’s motion to remand (ECF No. 19) is
18 DENIED, and defendant Andrew Saul’s motion to affirm (ECF No. 21) is GRANTED. The
19 clerk of court is instructed to enter judgment accordingly and close this case.
