FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
Ursula N. Smith,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case NO. 2:12-cv-534
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
ORDER
This matter is before the court for consideration of the
September 26, 2013, report and recommendation of the magistrate
judge, recommending that plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees under
the Equal Access to Justice Act be granted.
The Commissioner did
not file a response to plaintiff’s motion.
The report and recommendation specifically advised the parties
that the failure to object to the report and recommendation within
fourteen days of the report would result in a “waiver of the right
to de novo review by the District Judge and of the right to appeal
the decision of the District Court[.]”
Doc. 23, p. 7.
The time
period for filing objections to the report and recommendation has
expired,
and
no
party
has
objected
to
the
report
and
recommendation.
The court has reviewed the report and recommendation of the
magistrate judge.
Noting that no objections have been filed and
that the time for filing such objections has expired, the court
adopts the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge (Doc.
23).
Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees (Doc. 22)
is granted, and plaintiff is awarded attorney fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act in the amount of $4,336.50.
It is so ordered.
