Tanisha Ross, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

Honorable Sean F. Cox

Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION

This is a social security appeal. On June 30, 2015 Plaintiff Tanisha Ross filed her Complaint against the Commissioner of Social Security, appealing an Administrative Law Judge's denial of her application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental income benefits. (Doc. #1).

The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. (Pl. Mo., Doc. #11; Def.'s Mo., Doc. #13). The motions were ultimately referred to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford for issuance of a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C). (Doc. #2).

On August 10, 2016, Magistrate Judge Stafford issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") wherein she recommended that this Court GRANT Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, DENY Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, and REMAND the case for further proceedings consistent with the R&R. (R&R, Doc. #15).

Pursuant to Civil Rule 72, a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter by a Magistrate Judge must file objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the R&R. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). "The district judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge's disposition that has been properly objected to." Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).

Neither party has filed objections to the R&R and the time for doing so has passed. Furthermore, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Therefore, the Court hereby ADOPTS the August 10, 2016 R&R. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. #11) is GRANTED, Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. #13) is DENIED, and the Commissioner's decision is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with the August 10, 2016 R&R.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
