IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Mandy Waterhouse,
Plaintiff,
v.
Commissioner of Social Security
Administration,
Defendant.
No. CV-25-00508-TUC-JGZ
ORDER
On March 10, 2026, Magistrate Judge Michael A. Ambri issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) in which he recommended the Court affirm the
Commissioner’s final decision denying Plaintiff disability benefits. (Doc. 20.) The R&R
notified the parties they had fourteen (14) days from the date of the R&R to file any
objections. No objections have been filed.
This Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or
recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). “[T]he district
judge must review the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations de novo if
objection is made, but not otherwise.” United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121
(9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (emphasis in original). District courts are not required to conduct
“any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the subject of an objection.” Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72.
The Court has reviewed Judge Ambri’s R&R, the parties’ briefs, and the record.
The Court finds the R&R well-reasoned and agrees with Judge Ambri’s conclusion that
