ORDER Adopting 13 Report and Recommendation: Denying 8 Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Robert J Sullivan and Granting 11 Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Social Security, Commissioner of, Signed by District Judge Thomas L Ludington. (LHac)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN NORTHERN DIVISION ROBERT J. SULLIVAN, Plaintiff, Case Number 08-11649-BC Honorable Thomas L. Ludington v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. _______________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT This matter is before the Court on a report issued by Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen on May 11, 2009. The magistrate judge recommends denying Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granting Defendant's motion for summary judgment. As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The failure to file objections to the report and recommendation waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Likewise, the failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the record. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985). However, the Court agrees with the reasoning and conclusion of the magistrate judge. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation [Dkt # 13] is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment [Dkt. # 8] is DENIED, and that Defendant's motion for summary judgment [Dkt. # 11] is GRANTED. s/Thomas L. Ludington THOMAS L. LUDINGTON United States District Judge Dated: June 2, 2009
