RAYMOND A. WATTERSON, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Jelderks issued a Findings and Recommendation (#34) on November 16, 2011, in which he recommends the Court affirm the Commissioner's decision to deny plaintiff's applications for Supplemental Security Income and Disability Insurance Benefits.
Plaintiff has timely filed objections to the Findings and Recommendation. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).
When any party objects to any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Findings and 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).
I have carefully considered plaintiff's objections and conclude that the objections do not provide a basis to modify the Findings and Recommendation. I have also reviewed the pertinent portions of the record de novo and find no error in the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Jelderks's Findings and Recommendation [#34] and, therefore, the Commissioner's decision is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
