CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:24-CV-165
CAROLYN W COLVIN,
Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff Lee Bonifacio Romo filed a Complaint seeking review of the Commissioner of the
Social Security Administration’s decision to deny him disability benefits based on an
Administrative Law Judge’s finding. After the development of the administrative transcript
record, a United States Magistrate Judge ordered dispositive briefing from the parties, which they
submitted. (Order, Doc. 9; Romo’s Brief, Doc. 10; SSA Brief, Doc. 14)
In November 2025, based on the record and the applicable law, the Magistrate Judge
issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court affirm the final decision of
the Commissioner. (R&R, Doc. 15) No party objected to the Report and Recommendation.
“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear
error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b),
Advisory Comm. Note (1983). The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and finds
no clear error within it.
As a result, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 15). It is:
ORDERED that the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration is AFFIRMED.
Each party shall bear its own fees and costs.
This is a final and appealable order.
