UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
Norman James Thode,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 15-10988
Commissioner of Social Security,
Honorable Sean F. Cox
Defendant.
______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING
11/24/15 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 Insurance Benefits under
the Social Security Act. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge David Grand 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 November 24, 2015, Magistrate Judge Grand issued a Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) (Docket Entry No. 11) 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 November 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.

I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on
December 14, 2015, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
