Trial Court Opinion

                 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT                            
                    DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA                                

 Jane P. F.,                                                             
                                    Case No. 22-cv-3112 (KMM/JFD)        


               Plaintiff,                                                



 v.                                                                      

ORDER

 Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner                                    
 of Social Security,                                                     

               Defendant.                                                


    The above matter comes before the Court upon United States Magistrate Judge John 
F. Docherty’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) dated October 2, 2023.  [ECF No. 
19].  Plaintiff Jane P. F. seeks judicial review of the denial of her disability insurance 
benefits and supplemental security income.  The factual background for the this matter is 
clearly set forth in the R&R and is not repeated here.  The Magistrate Judge recommended 
that  the  Court  deny  Ms.  F’s motion  for summary judgment, grant  Defendant  Kilolo 
Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security’s motion for summary judgment, and 
affirm the Commissioner’s decision.  No objections have been filed to the R&R, though 
the deadline for doing so passed weeks ago.                               
    The Court reviews de novo any portion of the R&R to which specific objections are 
made.  
28 U.S.C. § 636
(b)(1); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b).  In the absence of objections, the Court 
reviews the R&R for clear error.  Nur v. Olmsted County, 
563 F. Supp. 3d 946
, 949  
(D. Minn. 2021) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); see also Grinder v. Gammon, 
73 F.3d 793, 795
 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam)).                                        
    Based on the Court’s careful review of the R&R and the record in this matter, Judge 
Docherty committed no error, clear or otherwise.  IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

    1.  Magistrate  Judge  John  F.  Docherty’s  October  2,  2023,  Report  and 
      Recommendation [ECF. No. 19] is ADOPTED;                           
    2.  Plaintiff Jane P. F.’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 11] is DENIED;  
    3.  Defendant Commissioner Kijakazi’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 
      17] is GRANTED; and                                                

    4.  The Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.                         
    Let Judgment be entered accordingly.
