STEVEN TODD FULSAAS, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER :
Magistrate Judge Paul Papak issued a Findings and Recommendation ("F&R") [24] on March 22, 2018, in which he recommends that the Court reverse the Commissioner's final decision denying Mr. Fulsaas's application for Supplemental Security Income and remand this case for an immediate award of benefits.
Because neither party timely filed an objection to the Magistrate Judge's F&R, the Court is relieved of its obligation to review the record de novo. United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc); see also United States v. Bernhardt, 840 F.2d 1441, 1444 (9th Cir. 1988) (de novo review required only for portions of Magistrate Judge's report to which objections have been made). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court finds no error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Papak's F&R [24]. Accordingly, the Commissioner's final decision denying Mr. Fulsaas's application for Supplemental Security Income is reversed and this case is remanded for an immediate award of benefits.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 4 day of May, 2018.
