CASE NUMBER: 11-11077

SHEILA JEAN ANDERSON, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
HONORABLE VICTORIA A. ROBERTS
Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE'S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On May 7, 2012, Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder issued a Report and Recommendation (R & R) recommending that the Court grant Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's Motion for Summary Judgment and deny Plaintiff Sheila Jean Anderson's Motion for Summary Judgment. (Doc. # 18). Magistrate Judge Binder concluded that the Administrative Law Judge who reviewed Plaintiff's application for benefits applied the correct legal standard and her decision to deny Plaintiff's disability claim is supported by substantial evidence.
Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), a party must file objections to a Magistrate's R & R within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the R & R. The district court must then review de novo any part of the Magistrate's recommendation that is properly objected to. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
The time for filing objections to the R & R has passed; neither party objected. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the R & R and GRANTS summary judgment to Defendant. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985) (a district court need not review a magistrate judge's recommended disposition when no objections to that recommendation are filed).
IT IS ORDERED.
