UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DEANNA RAYBURN,
Plaintiff,
v.

No. 17-14054
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds

COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
________________________________________/
ORDER AND OPINION ACCEPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S FEBRUARY 13,
2019 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [15]
Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s February 13, 2019 report
and recommendation (Dkt. 15.). The magistrate judge recommends denying Plaintiff’s
motion for summary judgment, granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment,
and affirming the Commissioner’s decision. 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, No. 09-10933, 2012 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 120541, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S.
140, 149 (1985)). The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s
recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation (Dkt. 15); DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for summary
judgment (Dkt. 10); GRANTS Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 12);

and AFFIRMS the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 405(g).
SO ORDERED.
