Opinion
Case No. 11-12751
03-19-2012
Lisa Deel, Plaintiff, v. United Of Omaha Life Insurance Company, Defendants.
Honorable Sean F. Cox
ORDER
Plaintiff filed this action pursuant to the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq. ("ERISA"), challenging Defendant's termination of her short-term disability benefits. Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Reverse Administrator's Decision, and Defendant filed a Motion to Affirm the Administrator's Decision, which were both referred to Magistrate Judge Laurie J. Michelson for issuance of a report and recommendation ("R&R").
On February 27, 2012, Magistrate Judge Michelson issued her R&R, wherein she recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff's motion and grant Defendant's motion. (Docket Entry No. 16).
Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter by a Magistrate Judge must filed objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the R&R. "The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made." Id.
The time for filing objections to the R&R has expired and the docket reflects that no party has filed objections to the R&R.
The Court hereby ADOPTS the February 27, 2012 R&R. IT IS ORDERED that: 1) Plaintiff's Motion to Reverse Administrator's Decision (Docket Entry No. 10) is DENIED; 2) Defendant's Motion to Affirm Administrator's Decision (Docket Entry No. 7) is GRANTED; and 3) this action shall be DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
