Opinion

ORDER


On May 4, 2009, Magistrate Judge Paul Papak filed his Findings and Recommendation (doc. 18) that the Commissioner's denial of Plaintiff's application for disability insurance under Title II of the Social Security Act be affirmed.

The matter is now before me. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). Neither party timely filed objections. This relieves me of my obligation to review Magistrate Judge Papak's factual findings de novo. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Simpson v. Lear Astronics Corp., 77 F.3d 1170, 1174-75 (9th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, I find no error.

Accordingly, I ADOPT magistrate Judge Papak's's Findings and Recommendation (doc. 18) as my own opinion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
