LISA STOKELY, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
(VARLAN/SHIRLEY)
ORDER
This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation entered by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley on April 13, 2012 [Doc. 17]. There have been no timely objections to the Report and Recommendation and enough time has passed since the filing of the Report and Recommendation to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). In the Report and Recommendation, the magistrate judge recommends that the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment [Doc. 13] be denied and that the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment [Doc. 15] be granted.
The Court has carefully reviewed this matter, including the underlying motions and the complaint and the Court is in agreement with the magistrate judge's recommendation, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report and Recommendation [Doc. 17], and it is ORDERED that plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 13] is DENIED and the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 15] is GRANTED. The Commissioner's decision in this case denying plaintiff's application for disability, disability insurance benefits, and/or supplemental security income is AFFIRMED. This case is DISMISSED, and the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
