EDWIN BLOSSEY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
HON. MARK A. RANDON
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon's Report and Recommendation of December 18, 2013, (Dkt. 15) recommending that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment be denied, that Defendant's motion for summary judgment be granted, and that the Commissioner be affirmed.
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of the report and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a "de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made." Id. Where, as here, neither party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court has reviewed and will accept the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation of December 18, 2013, (Dkt. 15) as the findings and conclusions of this court.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Randon's Report and Recommendation of December 18, 2013, (Dkt. 15) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 12) is DENIED and Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 14) is GRANTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that the findings of the Commissioner are AFFIRMED.
