MEMORANDUM ORDER
This Court referred Plaintiff’s pending motion for judgment of reversal to Magistrate
Judge Zia M. Faruqui, who issued a Report and Recommendation on March 9, 2021. The Report
and Recommendation recommended that Plaintiff’s motion for judgment of reversal be denied
and Defendant’s motion for judgment of affirmance be granted. In making this recommendation,
the Report affirmed the validity of an earlier ruling before an administrative law judge, which
concluded that Plaintiff’s impairments did not qualify her for disability benefits under Title XVI
of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). See R. & R. 9–13, ECF No. 16. No party has
submitted objections to the Report and Recommendation. Therefore, all objections are deemed
waived. Elec. Transaction Sys. Corp. v. Prodigy Partners Ltd., 2009 WL 3273920, at *1
(D.D.C. Oct. 9, 2009) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985)).
Accordingly, it is this 29th day of March, 2021, hereby
ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Faruqui’s Report and Recommendation is adopted in
full; and it is
FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for judgment of reversal (ECF No. 13) is
DENIED; and it is
FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s motion for judgment of affirmance (ECF No.
14) is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.
