LAURIE LUDER,
Plaintiff,
DECISION AND ORDER
No. 1:15-cv-00025(LGF)(MAT)
-vsCAROLYN COLVIN, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
________________________________
This matter comes before the Court following a Report and
Recommendation (Dkt #19) filed on August 7, 2017, by the Honorable
Leslie G. Foschio, United States Magistrate Judge, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 72(b) and (c) of the
Western District of New York. In his Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”), Judge Foschio recommended that the decision issued by
Carolyn
Colvin,
Acting
Commissioner
of
Social
Security1
(“Defendant”) denying benefits to Laurie Luder (“Plaintiff”) be
affirmed in full, that Defendant’s motion for judgment on the
pleadings be granted, and that Plaintiff’s motion for judgment on
the pleadings be denied.
The parties were given fourteen (14) days from the date of
their receipt of the R&R to file objections to it. The R&R was
1
Nancy A. Berryhill is now the Acting Commissioner of Social Security.
Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Nancy A.
Berryhill should be substituted for Acting Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin as the
defendant in this suit. No further action needs to be taken to continue this suit
by reason of the last sentence of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. § 405(g).
served electronically to both parties on August 7, 2017. Therefore,
objections were due by August 21, 2017. To date, no objections have
been filed, and neither party has sought an extension of time in
which to file objections.
When reviewing a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
a district court is required to “make a de novo determination of
those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or
recommendations to which objection is made[,]” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b),
and “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge[,]” id.
Where no “specific written objection” is made to portions of the
magistrate judge’s report, the district court may adopt those
portions, “as long as the factual and legal bases supporting the
findings and conclusions set forth in those sections are not
clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Eisenberg v. New England
Motor Freight, Inc., 564 F. Supp.2d 224, 226 (S.D.N.Y. 2008)
(citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
(1985); other citation omitted). The district court is not required
to review any portion of a magistrate judge’s report that is not
the subject of an objection. Eisenberg, 564 F. Supp.2d at 227
(citing Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149).
As noted above, no objections were made to any portion of the
R&R, which the Court has reviewed and finds to be thorough and
well-reasoned. Finding no error in the R&R, the Court accepts all
of the findings and recommendations therein.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the R&R (Dkt #19) is adopted in its entirety; and
it is further
ORDERED that Defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings
(Dkt #17) is granted; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings
(Dkt #10) is denied.
The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
