UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
MONICA I.,
Plaintiff,
:
Case No. 2:24-cv-3699
Chief Judge Sarah D. Morrison
Magistrate Judge Chelsey M.
Vascura
v.
COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY,
:
Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff brings this action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for review of a final
decision of the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) denying her
application for Social Security disability insurance benefits. (ECF No. 1-2.) Plaintiff
filed her Statement of Errors on October 16, 2024. (ECF No. 7.) The Commissioner
filed a Memorandum in Opposition. (ECF No. 11.) On December 9, 2024, the
Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the
Court overrule Plaintiff’s Statement of Errors and affirm the Commissioner’s denial
of benefits. (ECF No. 14.) Plaintiff timely filed her Objections to the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 15.)
If a party objects within the allotted time to a report and recommendation,
the Court “shall 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)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Upon review, the Court “may
accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made
by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court’s review “is limited to
determining whether the Commissioner’s decision ‘is supported by substantial
evidence and was made pursuant to proper legal standards.’” Ealy v. Comm’r of Soc.
Sec., 594 F.3d 504, 512 (6th Cir. 2010) (quoting Rogers v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., 486
F.3d 234, 241 (6th Cir. 2007)); see also 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (“The findings of the
Commissioner of Social Security as to any fact, if supported by substantial evidence,
shall be conclusive . . . .”).
The Court has carefully reviewed the record and concludes that the
Commissioner’s decision is supported by substantial evidence and contains no
reversible error. The issues raised in Plaintiff’s Objections were considered and
correctly addressed by the Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff’s Objections (ECF No. 15),
ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 14), and
AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s decision. The Clerk is DIRECTED to
TERMINATE this case from the docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
