HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman issued an Amended Findings and Recommendation
[31] on September 9, 2017, in which she recommends that the Court grant in part Plaintiff’s
Motion for Attorney Fees Under 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) [24].
Plaintiff has timely filed objections [30] to the Amended Findings & Recommendation.
The matter is now before the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 72(b).

1 – ORDER

When a party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge’s Findings &
Recommendation, the district court must make a de novo determination of that portion of the
Magistrate Judge’s report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9th
Cir. 2009); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
The Court has carefully considered Plaintiff’s objections and concludes there is no basis
to modify the Findings & Recommendation. The Court has also reviewed the pertinent portions
of the record de novo and finds no errors in the Magistrate Judge’s Findings & Recommendation.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Beckerman’s Amended Findings &
Recommendation [31], and therefore, Plaintiff’s request for Equal Access to Justice Act
