IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
JOHN LEE ROBINSON, JR.,
Plaintiff,
v.

No. 12-cv-842-DRH-CJP

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
HERNDON, Chief Judge:

ORDER

On July 25, 2012, John Robinson, Jr. filed a complaint against the
Commissioner of Social Security for judicial review of an administrative agency’s
decision (Doc. 2).

Specifically, Robinson seeks judicial review of the

Commissioner’s decision denying him Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 423.
On October 28, 2013, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), United States
Magistrate Judge Clifford J. Proud submitted a Report and Recommendation (the
“Report”) finding that the Administrative Law Judge committed no errors of law
and that his findings were supported by substantial evidence.

Accordingly,

Magistrate Judge Proud recommended that the Court affirm the final decision of
the Commissioner of Social Security denying Robinson’s applications for DIB and
SSI.
The Report was sent to the parties with a notice informing them of their
right to appeal by way of filing “objections” by November 15, 2013. To date, none

of the parties have filed objections, and the period in which to file objections has
expired. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this Court need not conduct
a de novo review. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985).
Thus, the Court ADOPTS the Report in its entirety (Doc. 23). The Court
AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s decision and DISMISSES with prejudice the
complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Singed this 25th day of November, 2013.
