Opinion
Case No. 8:12-cv-00007-T-27TGW
04-18-2013
MINKA DANAN, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
BEFORE THE COURT is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 17). As of this date, there are no objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time for filing such objections has now expired.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district court may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district court review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. § 636(b)(1)(C). The district court reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See LeCroy v. McNeil, 397 Fed. Appx. 554, 556 (11th Cir. 2010) (citing United States v. Warren, 687 F.2d 347, 348 (11th Cir. 1982)); Cooper-Houston v. S Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings, conclusions and recommendations, and giving de novo review to matters of law, the Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED for all purposes, including for appellate review. The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED. The Clerk is directed to ENTER final judgment in favor of Defendant and to CLOSE the file.
