ERNEST LEE THOMAS, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION,
DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT,
AND GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
This matter is before the Court on the report and recommendation (ECF No. 12) issued by Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen on November 27, 2012. Judge Whalen recommends that the Court grant Defendant's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 11), deny Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 8), and dismiss the complaint (ECF No. 1).
Any party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of the report and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a "de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made." Id. The Court is not obligated to review the portions of the report to which no objection was made. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to Judge Whalen's report and recommendation.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Judge Whalen's report and recommendation (ECF No. 12) is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 11) is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 8) is DENIED.
It is further ORDERED that the complaint (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED.
