Background

Robert B. sought reversal or remand of the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision. The Commissioner sought affirmance of that decision. The opinion does not describe the underlying benefits dispute or the reasons for the Commissioner’s decision.

Report and Recommendation

Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright issued a Report and Recommendation on January 31, 2024. No party objected. The district court therefore reviewed the recommendation for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake apparent from the record.

Ruling

The court found no clear error and accepted the Report and Recommendation. It denied Robert B.’s request for reversal or remand and granted the Commissioner’s request to affirm the Commissioner’s decision. The court ordered judgment to be entered accordingly.
