Background

The available judgment concerns a Social Security case brought by IOVANDAVIS against the Commissioner of Social Security. The judgment refers to an earlier report and recommendation, or R&R, and states that the court’s reasons were set out in an order dated September 5, 2023. The provided text does not explain the underlying benefits dispute or the R&R’s analysis.

Motions and Ruling

The court adopted the R&R in full. It denied IOVANDAVIS’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, which asks a court to decide a case based on the pleadings and the applicable law, and granted the Commissioner’s cross-motion for judgment on the pleadings. The case was dismissed. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with or without prejudice.

Appellate Review and Disposition

The court stated that the R&R gave the parties adequate warning that failing to object would affect appellate review. Because no objections were filed, the court held that further appellate review of the decision was waived. The case was accordingly closed. The judgment was entered by the clerk on September 5, 2023; the supplied case information identifies Valerie Caproni as the judge.
