UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

CYNTHIA A. LAWSON,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action No. 14-CV-11508

v.

Honorable Patrick J. Duggan

COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
_________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT, and DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT
On April 14, 2014, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit challenging the final decision
of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff’s application for disability and
supplemental security benefits. On September 24, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion
for summary judgment.

On October 22, 2014, Defendant filed a motion for

summary judgment. The Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Mona K.
Majzoub for all pretrial proceedings.
On June 12, 2015, Magistrate Judge Majzoub issued a Report and
Recommendation (R&R) recommending that the Court deny Plaintiff’s motion for
summary judgment and grant Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. At the

conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Majzoub advises the parties that they
may object and seek review of the R&R within 14 days of service upon them.
R&R at 16 (ECF No. 21).

She further specifically advises the parties that

“[f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of
appeal.” Id. at 16-17. Neither party has filed objections to the R&R, and the time
to do so has expired.
The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions
reached by the Magistrate Judge.

The Court therefore adopts the Magistrate

Judge’s R&R. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is
DENIED;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s motion for summary
judgment is GRANTED.

Dated: June 30, 2015
