Gentry M. v. Frank Bisignano, Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

GENTRY M., Case No. 24-cv-4550 (LMP/DLM) Plaintiff, v. ORDER ADOPTING FRANK BISIGNANO, REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

Bryan Konoski, Konoski & Partners, P.C., East Brunswick, NJ, for Plaintiff.

Ana H. Voss, United States Attorney’s Office, Minneapolis, MN, James Potter, James D.

Sides, and Sophia Doroba, Social Security Administration, Baltimore, MD, for Defendant.

Plaintiff Gentry M. appeals the denial of his application for disability insurance benefits by Defendant Frank Bisignano, Commissioner of Social Security (the “Commissioner”). See ECF No. 1. After receiving briefing from Gentry M. and the Commissioner, ECF Nos. 7, 9, United States Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner’s decision denying benefits. See ECF No. 12. Neither party objected to the R&R, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2), so the Court reviews the R&R for clear error, Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996) (per curiam). Finding no clear error, the Court adopts the R&R, affirms the Commissioner’s decision, and dismisses this action with prejudice.

ORDER Based upon the foregoing, and all the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The relief requested in the Commissioner’s brief (ECF No. 7) is GRANTED; 2. The relief requested in Gentry M.’s brief (ECF No. 9) is DENIED; 3. The Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 12) is ADOPTED; and 4. This action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
