UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

Helena Pugh,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 16-12057

Commissioner of Social
Security,

Honorable Sean F. Cox

Defendant.
______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING
3/27/17 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 her application for Supplemental Security Income
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 March 27, 2017, Magistrate Judge Grand issued a Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) (Docket Entry No. 19) wherein he recommends that: 1) the Commissioner’s motion be
granted; and 2) Plaintiff’s motion be denied.
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 March 27, 2017 R&R.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 1) the Commissioner’s motion is GRANTED; 2)
Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED; and 3) the Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
