Opinion
Case No. 3:14 CV 1447
03-31-2015
Darlene B. Oblinger, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Darlene Oblinger timely filed a Complaint (Doc. 1) against the Commissioner of Social Security, seeking judicial review of the Commissioner's decision to deny her Supplemental Security Income and Disability Insurance Benefits.
This case was referred to Magistrate Judge Vecchiarelli for a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") pursuant to Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). Following briefing (Docs. 11 & 14), the Magistrate Judge issued an R&R, recommending this Court affirm the final decision of the Commissioner denying Oblinger benefits (Doc. 19).
This matter is now before this Court on Oblinger's Objection to the R&R (Doc. 20) and Defendant's Response (Doc. 21). All of the arguments raised in Oblinger's Objection were previously raised in her brief on the merits and addressed in the R&R (compare Doc. 11 at 12-17, with Doc. 20 at 2-3; compare Doc. 11 at 17-18, with Doc. 20 at 3-4).
Pursuant to Hill v. Duriron Co., 656 F.2d 1208 (6th Cir. 1981) and 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(1)(B) & (C), this Court has made a de novo determination of the Magistrate Judge's findings. This determination included a review of the administrative record and the Administrative Law Judge's decision. Because the R&R accurately discusses record facts and correctly applies the law to Oblinger's claim, this Court adopts the R&R in full and rejects Oblinger's re-raised arguments for the reasons contained in the R&R.
This Court rejects Oblinger's Objection (Doc. 20) and adopts the R&R (Doc. 19). The claim for benefits is denied and this case is dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
