TIMOTHY WHITE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Hon. Patricia T. Morris ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 19)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris's April 10, 2018 Report and Recommendation, Dkt. 19, recommending that the Court DENY Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, (Dkt. 16), and GRANT the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 17).
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of a report and recommendation. 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. Where, as here, neither party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court will therefore accept the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation of April 10, 2018 as this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Morris's Report and Recommendation of April 10, 2018 is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED.
SO ORDERED. Dated: May 31, 2018
