RON H. GANYON, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Judge Algenon L. Marbley
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth P. Deavers
ORDER
This matter is before the Court for consideration of the January 23, 2013 Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Preston Deavers, to whom this case was referred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). (ECF No. 18.) The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court grant Plaintiff's Motion for an Award of Attorney Fees and Costs Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act and award attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $2,946.42.
The Report and Recommendation specifically advises the parites that the failure to object to the Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of the Report results in a "waiver of the right to de novo review . . . by the District Judge and waiver of the right to appeal the judgment of the District Court." (Report and Recommendation 3, ECF No. 18.) The time period for filing objections to the Report and Recommendation has expired. The Commissioner has not objected to the Report and Recommendation.
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation. Noting that no objections have been filed and that the time for filing such objections has expired, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion for an Award of Attorneys' Fees and Costs Pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act is GRANTED. (ECF No. 420.) Accordingly, Plaintiff is AWARDED attorneys fees' and costs pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, in the amount of $2,946.42.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
