Filing 19

ORDER adopting 18 Report and Recommendations.. Signed by Judge Gregory L. Frost on 1/12/15. (kn)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION

RICHARD E. OWENS,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 2:13-cv-1223
JUDGE GREGORY L. FROST
Magistrate Judge Terence P. Kemp

v.
COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court for consideration of the Magistrate Judge’s December 22,
2014 Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (ECF No. 18). In that filing, the Magistrate Judge
considered the administrative record (ECF No. 9), Plaintiff’s statement of specific errors (ECF
No. 12), and the Commissioner of Social Security’s (“Commissioner”) response in opposition
(ECF No. 17). The Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court overrule Plaintiff’s statement
of specific errors and enter judgment in favor of the Commissioner.
The R&R advised the parties that, if any party sought review by the District Judge, that
party may file objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days. (ECF No. 18, at 19–20.) The
R&R further advised the parties that the failure to object within fourteen days would “result in a
waiver of the right to have the district judge review the Report & Recommendation de novo, and
also operates as a waiver of the right to appeal the decision of the District Court adopting the
Report & Recommendation.” (Id. at 20 (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); United
States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981)).)

1

The Court has reviewed the R&R. Noting that no objections have been filed, that the
time for filing such objections has expired, and that the Magistrate Judge’s reasoning is correct,
the Court ADOPTS the R&R (ECF No. 18) and ORDERS that judgment be entered in favor of
Defendant. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment accordingly and terminate this case
from the docket records of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio,
Eastern Division.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
