ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (document no. 17), DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 13), AND GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (document no. 16)

STEPHEN J. MURPHY III, District Judge.

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff Benny Robinson's application for disability benefits. Admin. Record, ECF No. 11. After the Social Security Appeals Council confirmed the decision to deny benefits, Robinson appealed. The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris and the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. ECF Nos. 13, 16. Magistrate Judge Morris issued a Report and Recommendation ("Report") recommending that the Court deny Robinson's motion and grant the Commissioner's motion. Report, ECF No. 17.

Civil Rule 72(b) governs review of a magistrate judge's report and recommendation. De novo review of the magistrate judge's findings is only required if the parties "serve and file specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations." Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Because neither party filed objections, de novo review of the Report's conclusions is not required. After reviewing the record, the Court finds that the magistrate judge's conclusions are factually based and legally sound. Accordingly, the Court will adopt the Report's findings, deny Robinson's motion for summary judgment, and grant the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment.

WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation (document no. 17) is ADOPTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (document no. 16) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

SO ORDERED.
