Case No. 11-14609
09-26-2012
SHANNON W. EVITTS, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY Defendant.
Honorable Julian Abele Cook, Jr.
ORDER
This case involves a complaint by the plaintiff, Shannon W. Evitts, who, in relying upon the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), has asked this Court to review a final decision by the defendant, the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner"). The parties thereafter filed motions for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, both of which were forwarded by the Court to the Magistrate Judge for evaluation. In a report on June 29, 2012, the Magistrate Judge recommended that this Court (1) grant the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment, and (2) deny the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. As of this date, neither party has expressed any objections to the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation. The period of time for filing objections having now expired, this Court adopts the report, including the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge, in its entirety.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
