UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION CHARLES ROBINSON, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 13-CV-11637 Honorable Patrick J. Duggan COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. _________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING DEFENDANT S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, and DENYING PLAINTIFF S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT On April 11, 2013, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit challenging the final decision of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff s application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. On July 5, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. On August 13, 2013, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. The Court referred both motions to Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk for all pretrial proceedings. On June 30, 2014, Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending that the Court deny Plaintiff s motion for summary judgment and grant Defendant s motion for summary judgment. At the conclusion of the R&R, Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk advises the parties that they may object and seek review of the R&R within 14 days of service upon them. R&R at 45 (Page ID 662). He further specifically advises the parties that [f]ailure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of any further right of appeal. Id. Neither party has filed objections to the R&R, and the time to do so has expired. The Court has carefully reviewed the R&R and concurs with the conclusions reached by the Magistrate Judge. The Court therefore adopts the Magistrate Judge s R&R. 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. Dated: July 15, 2014 s/PATRICK J. DUGGAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
