MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
ROSENSTENGEL, District Judge:
On March 31, 2013, Plaintiff Sandra G. Seymour filed this case seeking review of
Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision to deny her applications for a
Period of Disability, Supplemental Security Income, and Disability Insurance Benefits.
The case comes before the Court on a Report and Recommendation entered on May 15,
2014, by Magistrate Judge Clifford J. Proud (Doc. 22). In the Report and
Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Proud recommends that the final decision of the
Commissioner of Social Security denying Seymour’s application for disability benefits be
affirmed and that judgment be entered in favor of Defendant.
The parties were informed that their deadline for objecting to Magistrate Judge
Proud’s Report and Recommendation was June 2, 2014—a date that has come and gone.
Because no party has filed an objection, the undersigned need not undertake de novo

review. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (“A judge of the court shall make a de novo
determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or

474 U.S. 140 (1985); Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp., 170 F.3d 734, 741 (7th Cir. 1999); Video
Views, Inc. v. Studio 21, Ltd., 797 F.2d 538 (7th Cir. 1986).
The undersigned accordingly ADOPTS the Report & Recommendation (Doc. 22)
in its entirety and rules as follows: the final decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security denying Seymour’s application for disability benefits is AFFIRMED. The Clerk
is directed to enter judgment in favor of Defendant and close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: June 9, 2014
