SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 20-62286-CIV-SMITH
GUILLERMO LEIVA,
Plaintiff,
v.
FRANK J. BISIGNANO,1
Commissioner of Social
Security Administration,
Defendant.
/
ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) [DE
37] of the Honorable Alicia O. Valle, U.S. Magistrate Judge, on Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary
Judgment [DE 33] and Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 34]. In her thorough and
well-reasoned Report, Judge Valle recommends that the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment
be denied, Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment be granted, and the Administrative Law
Judge’s Decision be affirmed. No objections were filed.
A 	district 	court 	may 	accept, 	reject, 	or 	modify 	a 	magistrate 	judge’s 	report 	and
recommendation. 	28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 	Those portions of the report and recommendation to
which objections are made are accorded de novo review, if those objections “pinpoint the specific
findings that the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir.
2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Any portions of the report and recommendation to which
no specific objection is made are reviewed only for clear error. Liberty Am. Ins. Grp., Inc. v.
1 Frank J. Bisignano was appointed Commissioner of the Social Security Administration in May 2025.
Consequently, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d), Frank J. Bisignano is substituted for
Martin J. O’Malley as Defendant in this case.
