District Court, S.D. West Virginia

Allred v. Kijakazi

Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA

CHARLESTON DIVISION

WILLIAM LEON ALLRED,

Plaintiff,

v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:22-cv-00447

KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

ORDER

This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

. Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn submitted his Proposed Findings and Recommendation [ECF No. 17] (“PF&R”) and recommended that I deny the plaintiff’s request for remand [ECF No. 11], grant the defendant’s request to affirm the final decision [ECF No. 12], affirm the final decision of the Commissioner, and dismiss this civil action from the court’s docket. Neither party timely filed objections to the PF&R nor sought an extension of time to do so. A district 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)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn,

474 U.S. 140, 150

(1985). Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court adopts and incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. The court DENIES the plaintiff's request for remand [ECF No. 11], GRANTS the defendant’s request to affirm [ECF No. 12], AFFIRMS the final decision of the Commissioner, and DISMISSES this matter from the court’s docket. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party. ENTER: August 18, 2023 G 6G pe STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
