TODD THURSTON, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Defendant.
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE ELIZABETH A. STAFFORD ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [#14], GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#13], AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#10]
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff and Defendant's cross-motions for summary judgment. Dkt. No. 10; Dkt. No. 13. The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford, who issued a Report and Recommendation on June 10, 2019 Granting Defendant's Motion and Denying Plaintiff's Motion. Dkt. No. 14. Neither party has filed an objection to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and the time for doing so has expired. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) ("Within fourteen days after being served with a copy, any party may serve and file written objections to such proposed findings and recommendations as provided by the rules of the court."). Upon review of the parties' briefs and the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, this Court concludes that the Magistrate reached the correct decision.
Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Stafford's June 10, 2019 Report and Recommendation [#14] as this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law. Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [#13] is hereby GRANTED and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [#10] is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: June 26, 2019
