Lewis v. Social Security, Commissioner of Doc. 15 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION EVA LEWIS, Case No. 15-13903 Plaintiff, Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. / OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [13] In a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") issued on February 15, 2017, Magistrate Judge Anthony Patti recommends that the Court grant Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 11), deny Plaintiff Eva Lewis' motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 10), and affirm Defendant's determination that Plaintiff is not entitled to social security benefits. Neither party has filed objections to the R&R, and the deadline for doing so has passed. The parties' failure to file objections to the R&R waives any further right to appeal. Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987). Furthermore, the failure to object to the R&R releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985). Nonetheless, having reviewed the R&R, the underlying motions, and the record, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's analysis, and therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's R&R. Dockets.Justia.com Accordingly, is hereby ordered, for the reasons stated in the R&R, that Defendant's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is DENIED, Defendant's decision is AFFIRMED, and the case is DISMISSED. SO ORDERED. s/Nancy G. Edmunds Nancy G. Edmunds United States District Judge Dated: March 6, 2017 I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on March 6, 2017, by electronic and/or ordinary mail. s/Carol J.
