In one sentence

In Ryan J. v. King, Judge Bryan affirmed the denial of SSI benefits, denied Ryan J.’s request, granted King’s request, and dismissed the matter without prejudice.

Who this affects

Ryan J., whose application for supplemental security income was denied, and Michelle King in her capacity as Acting Commissioner of Social Security.

What happened

Ryan J. v. King concerned Ryan J.’s challenge to the Social Security Commissioner’s denial of his application for supplemental security income benefits.

A magistrate judge recommended denying Ryan J.’s appeal. Neither party objected, so the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error and found none.

Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan adopted the recommendation, denied Ryan J.’s request for relief, granted Michelle King’s request for relief, affirmed the denial of benefits, and dismissed the matter without prejudice.
