Cook v. Saul

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

No. 6:20-cv-00267

Ashley Reshe Cook,

Plaintiff,

V.

Commissioner, Social Security

Administration,

Defendant.

ORDER

Plaintiff Ashley Reshe Cook initiated this action seeking judicial review of the commissioner’s decision to deny social security bene- fits. Following a remand to the commissioner for further proceed- ings, plaintiff filed a motion for EAJA attorney’s fees. Doc. 19. The motion was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell.

The magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the mo- tion for fees be denied. Doc. 22. No party objected to the report and recommendation. When a party fails to object to a magistrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear error. See Douglass vy. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5th Cir. 1996). Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satis- fied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The court denies the motion for attorney’s fees.

So ordered by the court on December 27, 2021. _fLacbod BARKER
