UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION WILLIAM LEWIS, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 08-14529 Honorable Patrick J. Duggan COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. / OPINION AND ORDER At a session of said Court, held in the U.S. District Courthouse, Eastern District of Michigan, on October 13, 2009. PRESENT: THE HONORABLE PATRICK J. DUGGAN U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE On October 24, 2008, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit challenging a final decision of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff s application for Disability Insurance Benefits. On March 16, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. On April 9, 2009, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. This Court referred both motions to Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan. On August 24, 2009, Magistrate Judge Morgan filed her Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending that this Court deny Plaintiff s motion for summary judgment and grant Defendant s motion. At the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Morgan advises the parties that they may object and seek review of the R&R within ten days of service upon them. (R&R at 14-15.) She further specifically advises the parties that [f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right to appeal. (Id., citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Howard v. Sec y of Health and Human Servs., 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); and United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981)). Neither party filed objections to the R&R. The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by Magistrate Judge Morgan. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that Plaintiff s motion for summary judgment is DENIED; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that Defendant s motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. s/PATRICK J. DUGGAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Copies to: Mikel E. Lupisella, Esq. Derri T. Thomas, Esq. Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan 2
