ORDER ADOPTING 15 Report and Recommendation. Signed by District Judge Terrence G. Berg. (Chubb, A)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
TAMMIE HENDERSON,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 13-13225
HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
HON. DAVID R. GRAND

v.
COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.

/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (Dkt. 15)
This matter is before the court on Magistrate Judge David R. Grand’s June
19, 2014 Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 15), recommending that Defendant’s
Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 13) be GRANTED, that Plaintiff’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (Dkt. 10) be DENIED, and that the findings of the
Commissioner be AFFIRMED.
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
recommendation. 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). Nevertheless, the Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s

Report and Recommendation of June 19, 2014 (Dkt. 15), and does hereby ACCEPT
and ADOPT it as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 13) is
GRANTED, Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 10) is DENIED, and
the decision of the Commissioner, as authored by Administrative Law Judge Regina
Sobrino, is AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 16, 2014
