Case
Kerri L. B. v. Kijakazi · No. 0:22-cv-03230
Judge
Eric Tostrud
Date
Nov. 28, 2023

Background

Magistrate Judge David T. Schultz issued a Report and Recommendation on November 3, 2023. The opinion states that no party objected to it. The district court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning it checked whether the recommendation contained an obvious mistake.

Rulings

The court found no clear error and accepted the Report and Recommendation. It denied Kerri L. B.’s motion for summary judgment, granted Kilolo Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment, and dismissed Kerri L. B.’s complaint with prejudice. The court also ordered judgment to be entered. This order does not explain the underlying Social Security dispute because it adopts the recommendation without describing its substantive reasoning.
