Case No. 16-14044
03-02-2018
Mikhail Alexeevich Kondrashov, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING 2/12/18 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff filed this action seeking judicial review of Defendant's determination that he is not entitled to social security benefits for his mental impairments under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub for a report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (Doc. # 3), after which the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment (Doc. # 14, 15).
On February 12, 2018, Magistrate Judge Mazoub issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 17) wherein she recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and grant Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment.
Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter by a Magistrate Judge must filed objections to the R&R within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the R&R. "The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made." Id.
The time for filing objections to the R&R has expired and the docket reflects that neither party has filed objections. The Court hereby ADOPTS the February 12, 2018 R&R.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED and that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
