January 3, 2018	Filing 23 ORDER for 17 Motion for Attorney Fees filed by Pablo Pelaez, 22 Report and Recommendations. This Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Cott's thorough and well-reasoned Report and Recommendation, and finds that it is not erroneous on its face. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Accordingly, this Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. The parties' failure to file written objections to the Report and Recommendation precludes appellate review of this decis ion. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985). Accordingly, Pelaez's motion for approval of the contingent fee agreement is granted. The Social Security Administration is directed to approve an attorney fee of $21,774.50 out of the past due Social Security Disability benefits payable to Pelaez, less the $6,586 already paid to Bowes under the Equal Access to Justice Act, for a net payment of $15,188.50. (Signed by Judge William H. Pauley, III on 1/3/2018) (ras)
