Case No. 09-12593.
July 19, 2010
OPINION AND ORDER
On July 1, 2009, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit challenging a final decision of the Commissioner denying her application for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits. The next day, this Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder. On January 14, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment seeking an award of benefits. On April 14, 2010, the Commissioner filed a motion for summary judgment. Magistrate Judge Binder considered both motions.
On May 24, 2010, Magistrate Judge Binder filed his Report and Recommendation ("R R") recommending that this Court deny Plaintiff's motion, grant Defendant's motion, and affirm the findings of the Commissioner. At the conclusion of the R R, Magistrate Judge Binder advises the parties that they may object and seek review of the R R within 14 days of service upon them. (R R at 16.) He further specifically advises the parties that "[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right to appeal." ( Id.). Neither party filed objections to the R R.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Binder.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Commissioner's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commissioner's denial of Plaintiff's benefits is AFFIRMED.
A judgment consistent with this order shall issue.
