UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRUCE EARL THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 18cv2825-WQH-BLM

ORDER

v.

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

HAYES, Judge:

The matter before the Court is the review of the Report and Recommendation

issued by the United States Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 13) recommending that 

Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 10) be denied and Defendant's

Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 11) be granted. 

The duties of the district court in connection with a report and recommendation

of a magistrate judge are set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) and 28

U.S.C. § 636(b). The district judge must "make a de novo determination of those

portions of the report . . . to which objection is made," and "may accept, reject, or

modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." 

28 U.S.C. § 636(b). The district court need not review de novo those portions of a

Report and Recommendation to which neither party objects. See Wang v. Masaitis, 416

F.3d 992, 1000 n.13 (9th Cir. 2005); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121

(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) ("Neither the Constitution nor the [Federal Magistrates Act]

requires a district judge to review, de novo, findings and recommendations that the

parties themselves accept as correct.").

No party has filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation. The Court

has reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the record, and the submissions of the

parties. 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 13)

is adopted in its entirety. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for

Summary Judgment (ECF No. 10) is denied and Defendant's Cross-Motion for

Summary Judgment (ECF No. 11) is granted. The Clerk is ordered to enter judgment

in favor of Defendant and against Plaintiff and close the case. 

DATED: July 29, 2019
