Trial Court Opinion
6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
9 Dionne Majalca-Williams, No. CV-24-00385-TUC-RM 10 Plaintiff, ORDER v. Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant.
15 On June 27, 2025, Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Rateau issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. 28), recommending that this Court reverse the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration and remand the matter for the calculation and award of benefits.

20 A district judge must “make a de novo determination of those portions” of a magistrate judge’s “report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Corp., 170 27 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999) (“If no objection or only partial objection is made, the district court judge reviews those unobjected portions for clear error.”); Prior v.
