What happened
In Michael G. v. Bisignano, Michael G. asked the court to reverse or send back the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision. The opinion does not describe the underlying disability claim or the reasons for that decision.
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright issued a recommendation on May 14, 2025. No party objected, so the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error and found none.
Judge Eric C. Tostrud accepted the recommendation, denied Michael G.’s request for reversal or remand, granted the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. Judgment was ordered to be entered.
