Opinion

Case No. 3:15-CV-68-PLR-CCS

01-21-2016

Kim Ducote, on behalf of L.D., a minor Plaintiff, v. Carolyn W. Colvin, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

This case is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate C. Clifford Shirley [R. 20]. There have been no timely objections to the Report and Recommendation, and enough time has passed since the filing of the Report and Recommendation to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

After a careful review of the record and the parties' pleadings, the Court is in complete agreement with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation that plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings [R. 14] be denied, and the commissioner's motion for summary judgment [R. 18] be granted. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report and Recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment [R. 18] is GRANTED, and the plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings [R. 14] is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
