EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
CRYSTAL HANDLEY, on behalf of
E.F., a minor,
Plaintiff,
CASE NO. 2:15-cv-12656
v.
HON. MARIANNE O. BATTANI
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
_______________________ __________/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION; GRANTING THE COMMISSIONER’S MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT; DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT; AND AFFIRMING THE COMMISSIONER’S FINDINGS
Plaintiff Crystal Handley has brought this action on behalf of E.F., her minor child,
challenging the Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision denying the application
for supplemental security income under the Social Security Act. The case was referred
to Magistrate Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Both
parties filed dispositive motions, and in a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") dated
August 18, 2016, Magistrate Judge Davis recommended that the Commissioner’s
Motion for Summary Judgment be granted and that Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary
Judgment be denied. (Doc. 21).
1
In the R&R, the Magistrate Judge informed the parties that objections to the R&R
must be filed within fourteen days of service and that a party’s failure to file objections
would waive any further right of appeal. (Id., pp. 31-32). Neither party filed objections.
Because no objections have been filed in this case, the parties waived their right to de
novo review and appeal. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 21), GRANTS the Commissioner’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (Doc. 18), and DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment
(Doc. 16). The Court therefore AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s findings and conclusions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: September 12, 2016
