Brown-Goulet v. Dudek

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

Clema B-G.,1 Case No. 23-CV-03759 (JMB/TNL) Plaintiff, v. ORDER Michelle King, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

Bryan Konoski, Konoski & Partners, P.C., East Brunswick, NJ, for Plaintiff Clema B-G.

Ana H. Voss, United States Attorney’s Office, Minneapolis, MN, and James D. Sides and Sophie Doroba, Social Security Administration, Baltimore, MD, for Defendant Michelle King.

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (R&R) of United States Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung dated January 31, 2025, which recommends denying Plaintiff Clema B-G.’s appeal of the Commissioner of Social Security Michelle King’s (the Commissioner’s) denial of her application for disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 401. (Doc. No. 12.) Neither party has objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has now passed. See D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(b)(1).

1 This District has adopted the policy of using only the first name and last initial of any nongovernmental party in Social Security orders.

In the absence of timely objections, the Court reviews the R&R for clear error. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).

Finding no clear error, and based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. The R&R (Doc. No. 12) is ADOPTED; 2. Plaintiff’s request for relief (Doc. No. 9) is DENIED; 3. The Commissioner’s request for relief (Doc. No. 10) is GRANTED; and 4. The denial of benefits is AFFIRMED; and 5. The matter is DISMISSED with prejudice.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
