Opinion
Case Number 11-CV-11310
05-16-2012
TIMOTHY EARL BEFFREY, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION,
GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT,
AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
This matter is before the Court on the report and recommendation (ECF No. 17) issued by Magistrate Judge David Grand on May 1, 2012, on the cross-motions for summary judgment filed by Plaintiff and Defendant (ECF Nos. 8, 15). Judge Grand recommends that the Court grant Defendant's motion, deny Plaintiff's motion, and affirm the commissioner's determination that Plaintiff is not disabled.
Any party may serve and file written objections "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy" of the report and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The district court will make a "de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made." Id. The Court is not obligated to review the portions of the report to which no objection was made. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to Judge Grand's report and recommendation.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Judge Grand's report and recommendation (ECF No. 17) is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 8) is DENIED.
It is further ORDERED that the determination of the Commisioner of Social Security is AFFIRMED and the complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
