ORDER


Magistrate Judge Janice M. Stewart filed her Findings and Recommendation on January 7, 2011. The matter is now before me.See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Fed.R. Civ P. 72(b). No objections have been timely filed. This relieves me of my obligation to give the factual findings de novo review. See § 636(b)(1)(C); Simpson v. Lear Astronics Corp., 77 F.3d 1170, 1174-5 (9th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the legal principles de novo, I find no error.

Accordingly, I ADOPT Magistrate Judge Stewart's Findings and Recommendation #32. Plaintiff's Motion for Approval of Attorney Fees Pursuant to 42 USC § 406(b) (docket #27) is GRANTED in the sum of $18,682.25 from which the EAJA fee of $5,580.00 will be subtracted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 31 day of January, 2011.
