MICHAEL SEAN SEAMON, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Hubel issued a Findings and Recommendation (#26) on December 9, 2013, in which he recommends that this Court grant Plaintiff's counsel's motion for attorney's fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) in the amount of $4,580.50. 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 Hubel's Findings & Recommendation [26]. Accordingly, Plaintiff's unopposed motion for fees [24] is granted and Plaintiff's counsel is awarded $4,580.510 in section 406(b) fees.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
