AMANDA WODTKE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
ROBERT H. CLELAND, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the court on cross motions for summary judgment. The case was referred to United States Magistrate David R. Grand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. The magistrate judge issued his report on July 8, 2022 recommending that this court deny plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, and grant defendant's motion for summary judgment. No objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.
The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the recommended findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.

I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was mailed to counsel of record and/or pro se parties on this date, July 26, 2022, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
