Fry v. Commissioner of Social Security

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION

KRISTOPHER F.,

Plaintiff, :

Case No. 2:24-cv-3772 v. Chief Judge Sarah D. Morrison

Chief Magistrate Judge Stephanie

K. Bowman COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, :

Defendant.

ORDER Plaintiff brings this action under

42 U.S.C. § 405

(g) for review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) denying his application for Social Security period of disability and disability insurance benefits. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff filed his Statement of Errors on November 5, 2024. (ECF No. 8.) The Commissioner filed a Memorandum in Opposition. (ECF No. 10.) On July 18, 2025, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court overrule Plaintiff’s Statement of Errors and affirm the Commissioner’s denial of benefits. (ECF No. 11.) Plaintiff timely filed his Objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 12.) If a party objects within the allotted time to a report and recommendation, the Court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Upon review, the Court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1). The Court’s review “is limited to determining whether the Commissioner’s decision ‘is supported by substantial

evidence and was made pursuant to proper legal standards.’” Ealy v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec.,

594 F.3d 504, 512

(6th Cir. 2010) (quoting Rogers v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec.,

486 F.3d 234, 241

(6th Cir. 2007)); see also

42 U.S.C. § 405

(g) (“The findings of the Commissioner of Social Security as to any fact, if supported by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive . . . .”). The Court has carefully reviewed the record and concludes that the Commissioner’s decision is supported by substantial evidence and contains no

reversible error. The issue raised in Plaintiff’s Objections was considered and correctly addressed by the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff’s Objections (ECF No. 12), ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 11), and AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s decision. The Clerk is DIRECTED to TERMINATE this case from the docket.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
