Solnick v. Commissioner of Social Security ( 2020 )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN DIVISION ROBERT JAMES SOLNICK PLAINTIFF v. CAUSE NO. 1:18CV388-LG-RHW COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY DEFENDANT ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION BEFORE THE COURT is the [13] Report and Recommendation entered by United States Magistrate Judge Robert H. Walker. Judge Walker recommends that the Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision should be affirmed. Solnick has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation. Where no party has objected to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation, the Court need not conduct a de novo review of it. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (“A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings and recommendations to which objection is made.”) In such cases, the Court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record. Douglass v. United Serv. Auto Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). Having conducted the required review, the Court finds that Judge Walker’s Report and Recommendation is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. Therefore, the Report and Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of this Court. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the [13] Report and Recommendation entered by United States Magistrate Judge Robert H. Walker is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. The Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED. The Court will enter a separate judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58. SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 3rd day of March, 2020.
