Case No: 07-15417-DT COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. ______________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION This matter case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. The magistrate judge issued her report on January 7, 2008, recommending that defendant's motion for summary judgment should be DENIED, that plaintiff's motion for summary judgment be DENIED and that the case be REMANDED for further proceedings. No objections

have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.1 Having reviewed the file and the report, the court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and ADOPTS the same for purposes of this Order.

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).
