CLARENCE RAY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.

THOMAS L. LUDINGTON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

HONORABLE PATRICIA T. MORRIS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

ORDER (1) ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, (2) GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, (3) DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, (4) AFFIRMING ALJ'S DECISION, AND (5) DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE

THOMAS L. LUDINGTON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

This matter is before this Court upon Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris's Report, ECF No. 20, recommending that the undersigned grant Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 19, deny Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgement, ECF No. 16, affirm the ALJ's decision, and dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint, ECF No. 1.

Although the Report states that the parties could object to and seek review of the recommendation within 14 days of service, neither Petitioner nor Respondent filed any objections. They have therefore waived their right to appeal Judge Morris's findings. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Morris's Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 20, is ADOPTED.

Further, it is ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 19, is GRANTED.

Further, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 16, is DENIED.

Further, it is ORDERED that the ALJ's decision is AFFIRMED.

Further, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff's Complaint, ECF No. 1, is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
