UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID POLITTE,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 07CV669 JLS (AJB)

ORDER (1) ADOPTING

MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT

AND RECOMMENDATION and (2)

REMANDING ACTION TO

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL

SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

(Doc. No. 11)

vs.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY

ADMINISTRATION,

Defendant.

In the present action, the Hon. Anthony J. Battaglia has issued a report and

recommendation (Doc. No. 14) that the Court grant defendant’s ex parte motion to remand this

action to the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration without a substantive review of

the Commissioner’s decision (Doc. No. 11). Magistrate Judge Battaglia further recommended

denial of plaintiff’s premature request for attorney fees. Neither party filed objections to

Magistrate Judge Battaglia’s report and recommendation.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, a district judge “shall make a de novo determination of those

portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is

made.” “When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear

error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72,

Cir. 1974)). 

Having reviewed the report and recommendation in the absence of any timely objection,

the Court finds that Magistrate Judge Battaglia did not commit clear error in his thorough, wellreasoned analysis. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS IN FULL the report and recommendation. The

Court hereby GRANTS defendant’s ex parte motion and REMANDS the action to the

Commissioner of Social Security. The Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE plaintiff’s

request for attorney fees. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: April 28, 2008
