David B. Lowry, Attorney at Law, Portland, OR, Attorneys for Plaintiff.

ORDER
Magistrate Judge Jelderks issued a Findings and Recommendation (# 54) on March 29, 2011, in which he recommends that this Court deny Plaintiff's motion to recover Equal Access to Justice Act attorney fees and costs (# 47). The matter is now before me 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, I am relieved of my 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, I find no error.
CONCLUSION
The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Jelderks' Findings and Recommendation (# 54). Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion to recover EAJA attorney fees and costs (# 47) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
