DEANNE SZELAP Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner Agent of Social Security Administration Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE NANCY J. KOPPE
Before the Court for consideration is the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 25) of the Honorable Nancy J. Koppe, United States Magistrate Judge, entered March 3, 2016.
A district court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). A party may file specific written objections to the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Local Rule IB 3-2(a). When written objections have been filed, the district court is required to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Local Rule IB 3-2(b). Where a party fails to object, however, a district court is not required to conduct "any review," de novo or otherwise, of the report and recommendations of a magistrate judge. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). Pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2(a), objections were due by March 20, 2016. No objections have been filed. The Court has reviewed the record in this case and concurs with the Magistrate Judge's recommendation.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 25) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in full.
IT IS ORDERED that (ECF No. 20) Motion to Remand is DENIED and (ECF No. 23) Cross-Motion to Affirm is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDER that the Clerk of Court shall serve this Order on the person(s) and respective addresses noted in the Report and Recommendation. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly and close the case.
DATED this 24th day of March, 2016.
