Case No. 13-CV-13281
08-18-2014
JONATHON FISK, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 14), GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (Doc. 13), AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (Doc. 8)
Before the court are the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, which were referred to the magistrate judge for a report and recommendation. On July 28, 2014, Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris issued her report, recommending that the court grant defendant's motion for summary judgment and deny plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. The magistrate judge's report and recommendation stated that any objections to her report were to be filed within 14 days of service, and that failure to file such objections constituted a waiver of any further right of appeal. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985). No such objections were filed by either party.
The court has reviewed the record and briefing in this matter, as well as the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, and accepts the result recommended therein. The administrative law judge's decision is supported by substantial evidence, and is therefore affirmed. Accordingly, defendant's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 13) is GRANTED, and plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 8) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: August 18, 2014
