Toufic Boutros, Plaintiff, v. Michael J. Astrue, Defendant.

Memorandum of Opinion and Order

PATRICIA GAUGHAN, District Judge

INTRODUCTION

This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Greg White (Doc. 17), recommending that the decision of the Commissioner be affirmed. No objections have been filed. For the reasons that follow, the Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED and the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.

STANDARD OF REVIEW

When objections are made to a Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, the district court reviews the case de novo. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) provides in pertinent part:

The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made in accordance with this rule. The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended decision, receive further evidence, or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.

As stated in the Advisory Committee Notes, "When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation." In Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985), the Court held, "It does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate judge's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings."

DECISION

This Court, having reviewed the Report and Recommendation and finding no clear error, hereby ACCEPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. In accordance with that recommendation, the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
