ORDER
MATTHEW W. BRANN, District Judge.
Jose Ortiz filed this action seeking review of a decision by the Commissioner of Social Security ("Commissioner") denying Ortiz's claim for supplemental security income.2 On January 31, 2020, Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner's decision and close this case.3 No timely objections were filed to this Report and Recommendation.
Where no objection is made to a report and recommendation, this Court will review the recommendation only for clear error.4 Regardless of whether timely objections are made, district courts may accept, reject, or modify—in whole or in part—the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.5 Upon review of the record, the Court finds no clear error in Magistrate Judge Arbuckle's conclusion that the Commissioner's decision is supported by substantial evidence. Consequently, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 9) is ADOPTED.
2. The Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
3. Final Judgment is entered in favor of Defendant and against Plaintiff pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
4. The Clerk of Court is direct to CLOSE this case.
