[Doc. No. 14]
On May 22, 2013, Plaintiff Paul F. Dunn filed this appeal pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), seeking review of an adverse final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security regarding his claim for disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income benefits. The matter was referred to the Honorable Ruben B. Brooks, United States Magistrate Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Civil Local Rule 72.1. On April 9, 2014, Judge Brooks issued a thorough and well-reasoned Report containing findings and conclusions, upon which he bases his recommendation that the Court deny Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and grant Defendant's cross motion for summary judgment.
Neither party objected to the Report and Recommendation, and the time for filing objections has expired.
The Court has considered the pleadings and memoranda of the parties as well as the administrative record, and has made a review and determination in accordance with the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 636 and applicable case law. Accordingly,
1. The Court ADOPTS Judge Brooks' Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 18] in its entirety;
2. The Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. No. 13]; and,
3. The Court GRANTS Defendant's Cross Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. No. 14].
The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment accordingly and terminate the action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
