PAULA L. MASTRO, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
PANNER, District Judge:
Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke filed a Findings and Recommendation, and the matter is now before this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). When either party objects to any portion of a Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court makes a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate Judge's report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Commodore Bus. Mach., Inc., 656 F. 2d 1309, 1313 (9th Cir. 1981).
Here, plaintiff objects to the Findings and Recommendation, so I have reviewed this matter de novo. I agree with Magistrate Judge Clarke that the ALJ's findings are supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, I ADOPT the Findings and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Clarke.
CONCLUSION
The Findings and Recommendation (#21) is adopted. The decision of the Commissioner is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
