Cruise v. Astrue

Malcolm F. Marsh

MARSH, Judge

Magistrate Janice M. Stewart issued a Findings and Recommendation (#33) on September 28, 2012. The Magistrate Judge recommends that the Commissioner's final decision should be affirmed. The matter is now before me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). No objections have been timely filed.

When neither party objects to a Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation, this court is relieved of its 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). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, the court does not find any error.

The court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Stewart's Findings and Recommendation (#33). Accordingly, the Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED and this proceeding is DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
