GREGORY F. VAN TATENHOVE, District Judge.
The Plaintiff, Jadeana Michelle Begley, brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) to challenge a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security ("Commissioner"), who denied her application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). [R. 2.] Consistent with the Court's practice and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Edward B. Atkins for the issuance of a report and recommendation containing proposed findings and recommendations. [R. 12.]
On August 26, 2011, Magistrate Judge Atkins filed his Report and Recommendation. [R. 13.] In his Report, the Magistrate Judge considered and rejected each of Begley's three arguments. [Id.] Specifically, Judge Atkins found that the administrative law judge ("ALJ") did not err in evaluating the credibility of Begley's testimony regarding her pain, limitations, and symptoms. [Id. at 5-9.] Judge Atkins also found that the ALJ supplied "good reasons" for the weight he assigned the opinions of Begley's treating physician. [Id. at 9-11.] Judge Atkins further concluded that the mental limitations posed by the ALJ in his hypothetical question to the vocational expert were supported by substantial evidence. [Id. at 13.] Although the parties were given fourteen (14) days from the filing of the Report and Recommendation to file objections [id.], neither party objected.
Generally, this Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c). When no objections are made, this Court is not required to "review ... a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard. ..." See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Parties who fail to object to a magistrate's report and recommendation are also barred from appealing a district court's order adopting that report and recommendation. United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). Nevertheless, this Court has examined the record and agrees with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, and the Court being sufficiently advised, it is hereby
(1) The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [R. 13] is
(2) The Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [R. 10] is
(3) The Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [R. 11] is
(4) Judgment in favor of the Defendant will be entered contemporaneously herewith.
