Ain v. Commissioner of Social Security Administration

6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

9 Sara Elise Ain, No. CV-24-00008-PHX-DLR 10 Plaintiff, ORDER v. Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant.

15 Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Willett’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. 23). The R&R recommends that the Court reverse the Administrative Law Judge’s April 4, 2023 decision (A.R. 21-42), as upheld by the Appeals Council (A.R. 1-7), and remand this case to the Social Security Administration for further proceedings. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain review of the R&R. See United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 22 F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003). Neither party filed objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . .

25 of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-taken. The Court will accept the R&R in its entirety. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) || (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the 2|| findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”).

5 IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (Doc. 23) is ACCEPTED.

6 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the reference of this case to the Magistrate 7\| Judge is WITHDRAWN, and the Administrative Law Judge’s decision is REVERSED.

8 || This matter is REMANDED to the Social Security Administration for further proceedings.

9 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment || accordingly and terminate this case.

11 Dated this 18th day of October, 2024.
