UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
NICOLE VEDRODE,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 13-cv-11420

v.

HONORABLE STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
OPINION AND ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION (document no. 20), GRANTING COMMISSIONER'S
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 19), DENYING VEDRODE'S
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 17), AND DISMISSING CASE
The Social Security Administration denied plaintiff and claimant Nicole Vedrode's
application for a period of disability and disability insurance benefits. An Administrative Law
Judge issued the original decision. See ALJ Decision, ECF No. 13-2, at 19. The SSA
Appeals Council declined to review the ruling. Vedrode then appealed to this Court. The
Court referred the matter to a United States Magistrate Judge, and the parties filed cross
motions for summary judgment. On August 8, 2014, the magistrate judge issued a Report
and Recommendation suggesting that the Court grant the Commissioner of Social
Security's motion and deny Vedrode's motion. Report, ECF No. 20.
A copy of the Report was served to both parties on August 8, 2014. Under Civil Rule
72(b), each party had fourteen days from the date of service to file any written objections
to the recommended disposition. Neither party has filed any objections. De Novo review
of the magistrate judge’s findings is therefore not required. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3). The
Court has reviewed the file and the Report, and finds that the magistrate judge’s analysis
is proper. Accordingly, the Court adopts the Report’s findings and conclusions and will

enter an appropriate judgment.
ORDER
WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the Commissioner's motion for summary
judgment (document no. 19) is GRANTED. This case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation
(document no. 20) is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Vedrode's Motion for Summary Judgment (document
no. 17) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
