Case No. 14-cv-12452

BAYNE ALBRECHT, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.

HONORABLE STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (document no. 19), DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 9), GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 13)

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff Bayne Albrecht's application for a disability and disability insurance benefits. After the Social Security Appeals Council denied his request for review, Albrecht filed the present case. The Court referred the case to a Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendation. The magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation on February 9, 2016, and advised the Court to deny Albrecht's motion for summary judgment, grant the Commissioner of Social Security's motion for summary judgment, and dismiss the case.

Under Civil Rule 72(b), each party had fourteen days from the date of service to file any written objections to the recommended disposition. Thus, Albrecht had until February 23 to file an objection to the Report. As of February 29, neither party has lodged an objection. De novo review of the magistrate judge's findings is therefore not required. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3). The Court has reviewed the file and the Report, and finds that the magistrate judge's analysis is proper. Accordingly, the Court adopts the Report's findings and conclusions and will enter an appropriate judgment.

ORDER

WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (document no. 19) is ADOPTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commissioner of Social Security's Motion For Summary Judgment (document no. 13) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Albrecht's Motion for Summary Judgment (document no. 9) is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

SO ORDERED.
