IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA

WAYNE SCOTT SKIPPER,
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:16CV190
(Judge Keeley)

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [DKT. NO. 13]
Pending before the Court is consideration of the Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) of the Honorable Robert W. Trumble, United
States Magistrate Judge (Dkt. No. 13), dated June 30, 2017 (Dkt.
No. 13). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is
required to make a de novo review of those portions of the
magistrate judge’s findings to which objection is made. Failure to
file objections to the R&R permits the District Court to review the
recommendation under the standards that the District Court believes
are appropriate, and under these circumstances, the parties’ right
to de novo review is waived. See Webb v. Califano, 468 F.Supp. 825
(E.D.

Cal.

1979).

To

date,

no

objections

have

been

filed.

Accordingly, the review is for clear error. Id.
Upon review of the R&R and the record, the Court adopts the
opinion of the Magistrate Judge for reasons discussed in the R&R
(Dkt. No. 13).

SKIPPER V. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [DKT. NO. 13]
Therefore, the Court:
1.

GRANTS the defendant’s motion for summary judgment (dkt.
no. 10);

2.

DENIES the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (dkt.
no. 8); and

3.

DISMISSES this civil action WITH PREJUDICE and ORDERS
that it be STRICKEN from the active docket of this Court.

It is so ORDERED.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to enter a separate judgment
order and to transmit copies of both orders to counsel of record
by certified mail, return receipt requested.
DATED: July 18, 2017.
