MEMORANDUM OPINION

DONALD C. NUGENT, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Jonathan D. Greenberg. (ECF #15). On October 16, 2017, Plaintiff Michelle Ann Grossman filed her Complaint (ECF #1) challenging the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying her claim for Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i), 423, 1381 et seq. Pursuant to Local Rule 72.2(b), the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Greenberg. (Non-document entry dated October 16, 2017). Magistrate Judge Greenberg found that the Administrative Law Judge failed to follow the procedural rules for assigning weight to the opinions of a treating source, and failed to give good reason for assigning weight to those opinions. The Magistrate Judge concluded that the Commissioner's decision should be reversed and remanded for further administrative proceedings. The Defendant Commissioner of Social Security filed a response to the Report and Recommendation (ECF #16) stating that the Commissioner would not be filing objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the 14-day filing period has expired. The Report and Recommendation (ECF #15). issued on September 17, 2018, is hereby ADOPTED by this Court.

Standard of Review for a Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation

The applicable standard of review of a magistrate judge's report and recommendation depends upon whether objections were made to that report. When objections are made to a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge, the district court reviews the case de novo. FED R. CIV. P. 72(b) states:

The text of Rule 72(b)(3) addresses only the review of portions of reports to which timely objections have been made; it does not indicate the appropriate standard of review for portions of the report to which no objections have properly been made. The Advisory Committee on Civil Rules commented on the standard of review stating, "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 advisory committee's notes (citations omitted).

The U.S. Supreme Court stated: "It does not appear that Congress intended to require district court review of magistrate judge's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to these findings." Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Here, no objection was filed by either party. Accordingly, this Court reviews the Report and Recommendation for a finding of clear error on the face of the record.

Conclusion

The Court has carefully reviewed the Report and Recommendation and agrees with the findings set forth therein. The Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Greenberg (ECF #15) is ADOPTED. The decision of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff's request for Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits is REVERSED and the case REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with the Magistrate Judge's decision.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
