TANCYINA MARCUS, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Defendant.

BROWN, Judge.

ORDER

BROWN, Judge.

Magistrate Judge Janice M. Stewart issued Findings and Recommendation (#37) on October 22, 2015, in which she recommends this Court grant Plaintiff's Motion (#35) for Attorney Fees under 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). 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 (9^th Cir. 2009). See also United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9^th Cir. 2003)(en banc). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the Court does not find any error.

CONCLUSION

The Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Stewart's Findings and Recommendation (#37). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion (#35) for Attorney Fees under 28 U.S.C. § 2412 and AWARDS Plaintiff's counsel attorneys' fees in the amount of $3,741.86.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 24^th day of November, 2015.
