MARIA LECEA, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
MAG. JUDGE MONA MAJZOUB
ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [DOC. 20]
This matter is before the court on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment as to plaintiff Maria Lecea's claim for judicial review of defendant Commissioner of Social Security's ("Commissioner") decision that she is not disabled, and denying her application for disabled widow's insurance benefits and supplemental security income. Magistrate Judge Majzoub issued a report and recommendation recommending that plaintiff's motion for summary judgment be denied, defendant's motion for summary judgment be granted, and the Commissioner's non-disability finding be affirmed.
The court has reviewed the file, record, and magistrate judge's report and recommendation. Objections to that report have not been filed by either party and the time period for doing so has expired. The failure to file objections to a report and recommendation generally constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal the judgment of the district court. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985); Alspaugh v. McConnell, 643 F.3d 162, 166 (6th Cir. 2011). Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (Doc. 20).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 14) is DENIED and the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment (Doc. 17) is GRANTED for the reasons set forth in the report and recommendation.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commissioner's non-disability finding is AFFIRMED. Dated: March 9, 2017
