Case No. 16-11428
07-21-2017
Willie Harper, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING 6/26/17 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff filed this action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), seeking judicial review of Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's determination that he is not entitled to benefits. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Patricia Morris for determination of all non-dispositive motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Report and Recommendation pursuant to § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C). Thereafter, the parties filed motions for summary judgment.
On June 26, 2017, Magistrate Judge Morris issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (Docket Entry No. 26) wherein she recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, grant Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, and affirm the Commissioner's decision.
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 neither party has filed objections to the R&R. The Court hereby ADOPTS the June 26, 2017, R&R.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED, Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and the Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
