Case No. 4:12-cv-77
Judge Mattice
Magistrate Judge Carter
ORDER
On January 2, 2014, United States Magistrate Judge William B. Carter filed a
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 19) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). Magistrate Judge Carter recommended that Plaintiff’s
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Doc. 15) be DENIED, Defendant’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (Doc. 17) be GRANTED, a judgment be entered pursuant to Rule
58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure AFFIRMING the Commissioner’s decision
denying benefits to Plaintiff, and this action be DISMISSED.
Plaintiff has filed no objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation.1 Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed de novo the record in this
matter, and it agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s well-reasoned conclusions.
Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Carter’s
findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the
Magistrate Judge Carter specifically advised Plaintiff that she had 14 days in which to object to the
Report and Recommendation and that failure to do so would waive her right to appeal. (Doc. 19); see Fed.
R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 148-51 (1985) (noting that “[i]t does not appear
that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under
a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings”).
1
Pleadings (Doc. 15) is DENIED, Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 17)
is GRANTED, the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED, and this action is
hereby DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED this 23rd day of January, 2014.
