UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KATHRYN M. VILLAVICENCIO,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 11cv0836-LAB (MDD)

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT

AND RECOMMENDATION; AND

ORDER OF REMAND

vs.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of

Social Security,

Defendant.

Plaintiff brought this action to appeal denial of social security benefits. Pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Civil Local Rule 72.1(c), the matter was referred to Magistrate

Judge Mitchell Dembin for report and recommendation. On July 3, Judge Dembin issued his

report and recommendation, which he amended on July 6 (the “R&R”). The R&R

recommended remanding this case to the administrative law judge (ALJ) for further

proceedings. The parties were given until July 24 to file any objections to the R&R they might

have, but neither party did so. When neither party files objections to a magistrate judge’s

R&R, no review by the Court is required, Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149–50 (1985),

although of course the Court has discretion to review the R&R and accept, reject, or modify

it. § 636(b)(1).
