IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
EUGENE DIVISION

KASI LYNN SAVOLT,
Plaintiff,

No. 6:17-cv-286-JE

v.

OPINION AND ORDER

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

MOSMAN,J.,
On March 16, 2018, Magistrate Judge John Jelderks issued his Findings and
Recommendation (F&R) [18], recommending that the Commissioner's decision should be
AFFIRMED. No objections were filed.
DISCUSSION
The magistrate judge makes only recommendations to the court, to which any party may
file written objections. The court is not bound by the recommendations of the magistrate judge,
but retains responsibility for making the final determination. The court is generally required to
make a de novo determination regarding those portions of the report or specified findings or
recommendation as to which an objection is made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(C). However, the court
1 - OPINION AND ORDER

is not required to review, de novo or under any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of
the magistrate judge as to those portions of the F&R to which no objections are addressed. See

Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121
(9th Cir. 2003). While the level of scrutiny under which I am required to review the F&R
depends on whether or not objections have been filed, in either case, I am free to accept, reject,
or modify any part of the F&R. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l)(C).
Upon review, I agree with Judge Jelderks's recommendation and I ADOPT the F&R [18]
as my own opinion. The Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED and this action is dismissed
with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this

day of April, 2018.

MICHAEL W. MOSMAN
Chief United States District Judge
