Case No. 2:15-cv-00389-APG-VCF

WANDA R. CLEMONS, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION AND REMANDING CASE
(ECF Nos. 17, 22, 25)
On December 15, 2015, Magistrate Judge Ferenbach entered a Report & Recommendation (ECF No. 25) recommending that plaintiff Wanda Clemons' motion to remand (ECF No. 17) be granted, that defendant Carolyn Colvin's motion to affirm (ECF No. 22) be denied, and that this matter be remanded to the ALJ to resolve the inconsistency between (1) Clemons' RFC limitation of simple tasks and simple instructions and (2) the vocational expert's testimony that Clemons could perform jobs that required level-three reasoning. Neither party objected to the Report & Recommendation.
Pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2(a), any objection to Judge Ferenbach's Report and Recommendation had to be filed within fourteen days. No objection was filed. The failure to file objections within the specified time, and failure to properly address and brief the objectionable issues, waives the right to appeal the order and to appeal factual issues from the order. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 1991); LR IB 3-2(b) (stating the "district judge must conduct a de novo review of those portions of the specified findings or recommendations to which objections have been made"). There being no objection to Judge Ferenbach's Report & Recommendation,
IT IS ORDERED that Judge Ferenbach's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 25) is accepted, plaintiff's motion for remand (ECF No. 17) is GRANTED, and defendant's motion to affirm (ECF No. 22) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is REMANDED to the Administrative Law Judge for further proceedings consistent with this order and with Judge Ferenbach's Report & Recommendation.
Dated: May 27, 2016.
