Case
Steven S. v. Kijakazi · No. 0:21-cv-01201
Judge
Wilhelmina Wright
Date
July 26, 2022

Background

The court considered a June 6, 2022 Report and Recommendation from United States Magistrate Judge Becky R. Thorson. The recommendation addressed Steven S.’s motion for summary judgment and Kilolo Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment. The provided order does not state the underlying facts, claims, or legal reasoning in the recommendation.

Review of the Recommendation

Neither party filed objections. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the magistrate judge’s analysis or decision. The court found no clear error.

Ruling

The court adopted the June 6, 2022 Report and Recommendation. It denied Steven S.’s motion for summary judgment and granted Kilolo Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment. The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
