OPINION and ORDER re 21 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION re 15 and 17 MOTIONS for Summary Judgment - Signed by District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds. (LBar)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
SAMANTHA TATE,
Case No. 17-13851
Plaintiff,
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds
v.
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S OCTOBER 24,
2018 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [21]
Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s October 24, 2018 report and
recommendation (ECF No. 21). The magistrate judge recommends that the Court deny
Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 15) and grant Defendant's motion for
summary judgment (ECF No. 17). 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.
