DEBORAH A. ALEXANDER Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Defendant.
ORDER
BROWN, Judge.
Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman issued Findings and Recommendation (#20) on January 5, 2017, in which she recommends this Court reverse the Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff's application for supplemental security income benefits and disability insurance benefits, and grant in part and deny in part the Commissioner's Motion in her Response Brief (#18) to remand this matter for further administrative proceedings. The Magistrate Judge recommends the matter be remanded for an immediate award of benefits. The matter is now before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b).
Because no objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation were timely filed, this Court is relieved of its obligation to review the record de novo. See Dawson v. Marshall, 561 F.3d 930, 932 (9th Cir. 2009). See also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)(en banc). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court does not find any error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Beckerman's Findings and Recommendation (#20). Accordingly, the Court DENIES the Commissioner's Motion (#18) to Remand this matter for further administrative proceedings, GRANTS the Commissioner's Motion to Remand as modified, and REMANDS this matter pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for an immediate award of benefits.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 2nd day of February, 2017.
