IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
STEVEN TODD FULSAAS,
Plaintiff,
No. 3:17-cv-00296-PK
ORDER
v.
NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Paul Papak issued a Findings and Recommendation (“F&R”) [24] on
March 22, 2018, in which he recommends that the Court reverse the Commissioner’s final
decision denying Mr. Fulsaas’s application for Supplemental Security Income and remand this
case for an immediate award of benefits.
Because neither party timely filed an objection to the Magistrate Judge’s F&R, the Court
is relieved of its obligation to review the record de novo. United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d
1 – ORDER
1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); see also United States v. Bernhardt, 840 F.2d 1441, 1444
(9th Cir. 1988) (de novo review required only for portions of Magistrate Judge's report to which
objections have been made). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court finds no
error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Papak’s F&R [24]. Accordingly, the
Commissioner’s final decision denying Mr. Fulsaas’s application for Supplemental Security
Income is reversed and this case is remanded for an immediate award of benefits.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this
day of
, 2018.
