Civil Action No. 2:09-CV-63.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION


On this day, the above-styled matter came before the Court for consideration of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge James E. Seibert [Doc. 38] dated December 30, 2010, to which neither party filed objections. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to make a de novo review of those portions of the magistrate judge's findings to which objection is made. However, failure to file objections to the magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendation permits the District Court to review the recommendation under the standards that the District Court believes are appropriate, and under these circumstances, the parties' right to de novo review is waived. See Webb v. Califano , 468 F. Supp. 825 (E.D. Cal. 1979). Accordingly, because no objections have been filed, this report and recommendation ("R R") will be reviewed for clear error.

Upon review of the above, it is the opinion of this Court that the Report and Recommendation [Doc. 38] should be, and is, hereby ORDERED ADOPTED. For reasons more fully stated in the Report and Recommendation, the Claimant's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 31] is hereby DENIED because the ALJ properly evaluated the treating physician's reports and because the RFC determination is left solely for the ALJ. For the same reasons, the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 35] is GRANTED. Accordingly, this matter is hereby STRICKEN from the active docket of this Court. The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of the defendants.

It is so ORDERED.

The Clerk is directed to transmit true copies of this Order to all counsel of record.

DATED: January 19, 2011.
