CASE NO: 10-CV-12659-DT
08-04-2011
WILLIAM RAYPHUL BRACEY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the court on cross motions for summary judgment. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. The magistrate judge issued his report on July 13, 2011 recommending that this court deny plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and to remand, and grant defendant's motion for summary judgment. No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.
The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Having reviewed the file and the Report, the court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and ADOPTS the same for purposes of this Order.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, the Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and to remand is DENIED and defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
