UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

ANDY J. NORRIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO: 17-CV-11051-DT

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the court on cross motions for summary judgment. The
case was referred to United States Magistrate Patricia T. Morris pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
'636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72.1. The magistrate judge issued her report on
February 20, 2018 recommending that this court deny plaintiff=s motion for summary
judgment, and grant defendant=s motion for summary judgment. No objections have
been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. '636(b)(1)(C), thus further appeal rights are waived.1
Having reviewed the file and the Report, the court concludes that the findings
and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct and ADOPTS the same for
purposes of this Order.

1

The failure to object to the magistrate judge's report releases the court from its duty to
independently review the motion. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).

and Recommendation, the Plaintiff=s motion for summary judgment [#14] is DENIED,
