CHARLES ROBINSON, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Honorable Patrick J. Duggan
ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT, and DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On April 11, 2013, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit challenging the final decision of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. On July 5, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. On August 13, 2013, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. The Court referred both motions to Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk for all pretrial proceedings.
On June 30, 2014, Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending that the Court deny Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and grant Defendant's motion for summary judgment. At the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk advises the parties that they may object and seek review of the R&R within 14 days of service upon them. R&R at 45 (Page ID 662). He further specifically advises the parties that "[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of appeal." Id. Neither party has filed objections to the R&R, and the time to do so has expired.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by the Magistrate Judge. The Court therefore adopts the Magistrate Judge's R&R. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is DENIED;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
