11 v.

12 Commissioner of Social Security Administration, 13 Defendant. 14 15 On February 10, 2025, Magistrate Judge Bruce G. Macdonald issued a Report and 16 Recommendation (“R&R”) in which he recommended the Court the District Court, deny 17 Plaintiff’s appeal and close this case. (Doc. 35.) The R&R notified the parties they had 18 fourteen (14) days from the date of the R&R to file any objections. (Doc. 35 at 15.) No 19 objections have been filed. 20 If neither party objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the 21 District Court is not required to review the magistrate judge’s decision under any 22 specified standard of review. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). However, the 23 statute guiding review of a magistrate judge’s recommendation “does not preclude further 24 review by the district judge, sua sponte or at the request of a party, under a de novo or 25 any other standard.” Id. at 154. 26 The Court has reviewed and considered the complaint (Doc. 1), the opening brief 27 (Doc. 28), the response brief (Doc. 30), the reply (Doc. 34), and the R&R (Doc. 35). The 28 Court finds the R&R well-reasoned and agrees with Judge Maconald’s conclusions. 1 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED: 2 1) Magistrate Judge Macdonald’s Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. (Doc. 3 35.) 4 2) The Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision is AFFIRMED. The Clerk 5 of Court shall docket accordingly and close the case file in this matter. 6 Dated this 3rd day of March, 2025. 7 8 9 _ U pL ST (rl _— - 10 Honorable Raner ©.
