EVONNE E. MERRILL, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER :
Magistrate Judge Beckerman issued a Findings and Recommendation (#17) on September 24, 2015, in which she recommends that this Court affirm the decision of the Commissioner to deny Plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits. 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 Beckerman's Findings & Recommendation [17]. Accordingly, the Commissioner's decision is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 13 day of November, 2015.
