UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EVELYN CASTRO,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 12cv1194-LAB (MDD)

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT

vs. AND RECOMMENDATION

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of

Social Security Administration,

Defendant.

Castro challenges the denial of her claim for disability benefits under the Social

Security Act. The challenge was referred to Magistrate Judge Dembin for a Report and

Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, after which Castro and the Commissioner

filed cross-motions for summary judgment. Judge Dembin issued his R&R on November 8,

2012, finding for the Commissioner. 

The Court reviews an R&R on dispositive motions pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b),

which “makes clear that the district judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and

recommendations de novo if objection is made, but not otherwise.” United States v. ReynaTapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc). Castro failed to object to the R&R. 

The R&R specified that any objections must be filed no later than November 28, 2012, and

it warned that the failure to file any objections may waive the right to later raise them on

appeal.

In any event, the Court has reviewed the R&R and finds it is sound. It is therefore

ADOPTED. Castro’s motion for summary judgment is DENIED and the Commissioner’s

motion is GRANTED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 20, 2012
