CASE NO: 16-CV-12607-DT
06-29-2017
MICHAEL NOGLE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the court on the parties cross motions for summary judgment. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge David R. Grand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. The magistrate judge issued his report on May 26, 2017 recommending that this court GRANT the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [Dkt #17], DENY Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [Dkt #14] and AFFIRM the Administrative Law Judge's decision. No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.
The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). --------
Having reviewed the file and the Report, the court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and ADOPTS the same for purposes of this Order.
ORDER
