Case No. 12-14998
11-21-2013
Jeffrey Schalau, Plaintiff, v. Commissioners of Social Security, Defendant.
Honorable Sean F. Cox
ORDER
ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff brought this action challenging the Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff's claim for benefits. Thereafter, the matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub for determination of all non-dispositive motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Report and Recommendation pursuant to § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C).
Thereafter, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. In a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") issued on October 30, 2013, Magistrate Judge Majzoub recommended that this Court: 1) Deny Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment; and 2) Grant the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment, affirming the findings and conclusions of the Commissioner.
Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter by a Magistrate Judge must filed objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the R&R. "The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made." Id.
The time for filing objections to the R&R has expired and the docket reflects that neither party has filed objections to the R&R.
The Court hereby ADOPTS the October 30, 2013, R&R. IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED and that the Commissioner's findings and conclusions are AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
