UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARLENE MARIE ALVA,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREW SAUL, Commissioner of Social 

Security,

Defendant.

No. 2:19-cv-00086 WBS CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff seeks judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security 

(“Commissioner”) denying an application for disability benefits under Title II of the Social 

Security Act (“Act”).

On January 22, 2020, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which contained notice to the parties that any objections to the findings and recommendations 

were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff has filed objections. The court has reviewed the 

file and finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by the 

magistrate judge’s analysis. Notably, among other things, the administrative law judge set forth 

specific, legitimate reasons, based on substantial evidence in the record, for rejecting the opinion 

of plaintiff’s treating physician, “setting out a detailed and thorough summary of the facts and 

conflicting evidence, stating his interpretation thereof, and making findings.” See, e.g., Revels v.
