Kelley v. Kilolo Kijakazi, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:24-cv-00198 Johnny Dow Kelley, Plaintiff, V. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

ORDER Plaintiff Johnny Dow Kelley, Jr., filed this action seeking judi- cial review of a decision by the Commissioner denying plaintiff’s application for benefits. Doc. 1. The court referred the case to a magistrate judge pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b). On March 7, 2025, the magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation that the Commissioner’s final decision be affirmed and the action dismissed with prejudice. Doc. 14. Plaintiff did not file written ob- jections, and the time for doing so has passed. When a party fails to object to a magistrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear error. See Douglass ». United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

79 F.3d 1415, 1420

(5th Cir. 1996). Hav- ing reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The court affirms the Commissioner’s final de- cision and dismisses this action with prejudice. Any pending mo- tions are denied as moot. So ordered by the court on July 1, 2025. fleclioke.
