Renee Cockrum v. Commissioner of the Social Security Administration

Opinion

FILED January 29, 2025 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SAN ANTONIO DIVISION BY. NM DEPUTY RENEE COCKRUM, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § CIVIL NO. SA-23-CV-1328-OLG § CAROLYN COLVIN, Acting § Commissioner of Social Security § Administration, § § Defendant. § ORDER The Court has considered United States Magistrate Judge Henry J. Bemporad’s Report and Recommendation (the “Recommendation”) (Dkt. No. 13), filed on January 6, 2025, that the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security Administration (the “Commissioner”) be affirmed. Neither party filed objections to the Recommendation. When no party objects to a magistrate judge’s recommendation, the Court need not conduct a de novo review of the entire record. See 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 recommendation to which objection is made.”); FED. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Rather, the Court need only review the magistrate judge’s recommendation to determine whether it is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989). The Court has reviewed the Recommendation and is of the opinion that it is correct. Accordingly, the Recommendation (Dkt. No. 13) is ACCEPTED and, for the reasons set forth therein, the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this matter.
