OPINION and ORDER re 17 and 14 MOTIONS for Summary Judgment - Signed by District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds. (LBar)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DEBRA COSS,
Case No. 17-13055
Plaintiff,
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds
v.
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S OCTOBER 19,
2018 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [18]
Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s October 19, 2018 report and
recommendation (ECF No. 18). The magistrate judge recommends that the Court deny
Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and grant Defendant's motion for summary
judgment. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the
pleadings. 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) (citation omitted).
The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The Court
therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
GRANTS Defendant’s motion for summary judgment, DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for
summary judgment, and AFFIRMS the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security.
It is further ordered that Plaintiff's Complaint is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
