What happened
In Kevin Jack Hendrickson v. Nancy Berryhill, the district court considered a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation concerning the parties’ competing requests for summary judgment.
No objections were filed, so the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake. The opinion does not describe the underlying Social Security dispute or the recommendation’s reasoning.
Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright found no clear error, adopted the recommendation, denied Hendrickson’s motion for summary judgment, granted Berryhill’s motion, and directed that judgment be entered.
