In Jane P. F. v. Kijakazi, Judge Menendez denied Jane P. F.’s motion, granted the Commissioner’s motion, and affirmed the benefits denial.
Jane P. F.’s disability-benefits claim was rejected, and the Commissioner’s decision denying benefits remained in effect.
What happened
Jane P. F. asked the District of Minnesota to review the denial of her disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. A magistrate judge recommended rejecting her request and upholding the Commissioner’s decision.
No one objected to that recommendation. The court therefore reviewed it for clear error and found none.
In Jane P. F. v. Kijakazi, Judge Menendez adopted the recommendation, denied Jane P. F.’s motion for summary judgment, granted the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, and affirmed the Commissioner’s decision.

Background
Jane P. F. sought judicial review of the denial of her disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. United States Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty issued a Report and Recommendation on October 2, 2023, recommending that the court deny Jane P. F.’s motion for summary judgment, grant Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment, and affirm the Commissioner’s decision.
Court’s Review
Neither party objected to the Report and Recommendation before the objection deadline passed. Because there were no objections, the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake. After reviewing the recommendation and the record, the court found no error.
Ruling
Judge Katherine Menendez adopted the Report and Recommendation. The court denied Jane P. F.’s motion for summary judgment, granted Commissioner Kijakazi’s motion for summary judgment, and affirmed the Commissioner’s decision. The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
