UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DIVISION
JEREMY DAVIS,
v.

Plaintiff,

Case No. 13-10828

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
HON. DAVID R. GRAND

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 14)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge David R. Grand’s
December 9, 2013 Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 14), recommending that
Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment be DENIED, that Defendant’s motion for
summary judgment be GRANTED, and that the findings and conclusions of the
Commissioner be AFFIRMED.
The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.
The law provides that either party may serve and file written objections “[w]ithin
fourteen days after being served with a copy” of the report and recommendations.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a “de novo determination of those
portions of the report . . . to which objection is made.” Id. Where, as here, neither
party objects to the report, the district court is not obligated to independently
review the record. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). The Court will,

therefore, accept the Magistrate’s Report and Recommendation of December 9,
2013, as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Grand’s Report
and Recommendation of December 9, 2013, (Dkt. 14) is ACCEPTED and
ADOPTED. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for summary
judgment (Dkt. 9) is DENIED, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 13)
is DENIED, and the findings and conclusions of the Commissioner are
AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 24, 2014
