Ruiz-Campuzano, Matter of

Facts

The case involves a dispute over the denial of social security benefits to Plaintiff Rubin Ruiz Campuzano. Campuzano filed a Motion for Summary Judgment challenging the decision made by the Commissioner of Social Security. The Commissioner responded with a Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment, and the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation regarding these motions.

The matters before the Court are the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Plaintiff Rubin Ruiz Campuzano (ECF No. 12), the Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Defendant Commissioner of Social Security (the 'Commissioner') (ECF No. 15), and the Report and Recommendation issued by the Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 18).

Issue

The main legal issue was whether the district court should adopt the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge regarding the motions for summary judgment.

The duties of the district court in connection with a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge are set forth in Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. 636(b).

Rule

The district court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the report to which objection is made, and may accept, reject, or modify the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.

The district judge must 'make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection [*2] is made,' and 'may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate.'

Analysis

The court reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the record, and the submissions of the parties. Since no party filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation, the court found it appropriate to adopt it in its entirety, leading to the denial of the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and the granting of the Commissioner's Cross-Motion.

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the record, and the submissions of the parties.

Conclusion

The court adopted the Report and Recommendation, denied the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, and granted the Commissioner's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 18) is adopted in its entirety. Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 12) is denied. The Commissioner's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 15) is granted.

Who won?

The Commissioner of Social Security prevailed in the case because the court adopted the Magistrate Judge's recommendations, which favored the Commissioner.

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation, the record, and the submissions of the parties.
