ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DKT. 16)
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford’s July
28, 2015 Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 16), recommending that Plaintiff’s
motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 12) be DENIED, that Defendant’s motion for
summary judgment (Dkt. 14) be GRANTED, and that 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 report or specified proposed findings or recommendations 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 has reviewed and will accept the

Magistrate’s Report and Recommendation of July 28, 2015, as this Court’s findings
of fact and conlcusions of law.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A.
Stafford’s Report and Recommendation of July 28, 2015 (Dkt. 16) is ACCEPTED
and ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment
(Dkt. 11) is DENIED, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 14) is
GRANTED, and the findings and conclusions of the Commissioner are
AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
