Who this affects

Angela R. M.; the order denied her request for judicial review of the Social Security decision and dismissed her action with prejudice.

What happened

Angela R. M. asked the federal court to review the Social Security Commissioner’s final decision denying her applications for Supplemental Security Income and disability insurance benefits.

A magistrate judge recommended denying her request for judicial review. Neither side objected, so the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error.

Date

Background

Angela R. M. sought judicial review of the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying her applications for Supplemental Security Income and disability insurance benefits. The opinion does not provide further details about the underlying benefits decision.

Recommendation and Review

United States Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty issued a Report and Recommendation on January 22, 2025. It recommended denying Angela R. M.’s petition for judicial review. Neither party filed objections, and the deadline for doing so had passed. Under that circumstance, Judge Bryan reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the recommendation.

Ruling

Judge Jeffrey M. Bryan found no clear error and adopted the Report and Recommendation. The court dismissed the action with prejudice and directed that judgment be entered. The order therefore ended Angela R. M.’s federal judicial-review action and did not allow it to be refiled.
