UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

William M. Collins, II,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 14-12031

Commissioner of Social
Security,

Honorable Sean F. Cox

Defendant.
______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING
7/24/15 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff filed this action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), challenging a final decision of the
Commissioner of Social Security denying his application for disability benefits. The matter was
referred to Magistrate Judge Anthony Patti for determination of all non-dispositive motions
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Report and Recommendation pursuant to § 636(b)(1)(B)
and (C). Thereafter, the parties filed motions for summary judgment.
On July 24, 2015, Magistrate Judge Patti issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”)
(Docket Entry No. 22) wherein he recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff’s Motion for
Summary Judgment, grant Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and affirm the
Commissioner’s decision.
Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a
matter by a Magistrate Judge must filed objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after
being served with a copy of the R&R. “The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall

1

make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the
magistrate judge’s disposition to which specific written objection has been made.” Id.
The time for filing objections to the R&R has expired and the docket reflects that neither
party has filed objections to the R&R. The Court hereby ADOPTS the July 24, 2015 R&R.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED,
Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, and the Commissioner’s decision is
AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 14, 2015
