Case No. 1:12-cv-894

Commissioner of
Social Security,
Defendant

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation filed April 1, 2014 (Doc. 21).
Proper notice has been given to the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C),
including notice that the parties would waive further appeal if they failed to file
objections to the Report and Recommendation in a timely manner. See United States
v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). As of the date of this Order, no objections
to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation have been filed.
Having reviewed this matter de novo pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, we find the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation correct.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED. Plaintiff’s motion for fees is DENIED as
moot in light of the parties’ later filed joint stipulation of fees. Plaintiff is awarded the
total sum of $2,928.75 in attorney’s fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice
Act.
Date: May 5, 2014
