SOUTHERN DIVISION
Karen S. Petero,
Case No. 16-11389
Plaintiff,
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds
v.
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
/
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S AUGUST 14,
2017 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [17], GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [15], DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT [14] AND AFFIRMING THE COMMISSIONER'S DECISION
This matter came before the Court on the magistrate judge’s August 14, 2017 report
and recommendation. (Docket no. 17.) The magistrate judge recommended that the Court
grant Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and deny Plaintiff’s motion for summary
judgment. Neither party has filed objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate
judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall
v. Rawal, 09-10933, 2012 WL 3639070, at *1 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas
v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985)). The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s
recommendation.
Being fully advised in the premises, having read the pleadings, and for the reasons
set forth above, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation (dkt. 17), and therefore GRANTS Defendant's motion for summary
judgment (dkt. 15), DENIES Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (dkt. 14), and
AFFIRMS the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
405(g).
So ordered.
