UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

Case No. 22-cv-21057-BLOOM/Damian

CELIA MARIE CASTRO,

Plaintiff,

v.

KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant. ______________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment, ECF Nos. [16] and [17], filed on October 1, 2022 and October 30, 2022, respectively (“Motions”). The Motions were previously referred to the Honorable Judge Melissa Damian for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”) on all dispositive matters. See ECF No. [2]. On May 19, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued a R&R recommending that Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment be denied and Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment be granted. ECF No. [21]. The R&R states that the Plaintiff shall file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To date, Plaintiff has filed no objections, nor has she sought additional time in which to do so. Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R and the record in this case, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil,

(11th Cir. 2009) (citing

(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that Case No. 22-cv-21057-BLOOM/Damian

the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment must be DENIED and the Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment must be GRANTED for the reasons set forth therein. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The R&R, ECF No. [21], is ADOPTED; 2. Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. [16], is DENIED; 3. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. [17], is GRANTED; 4. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT; and, 5. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, sl June 5, 2023.
