UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT Nathan Ochsner, Clerk

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI DIVISION
DANA OLIVER, §
Plaintiff, :
v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:25-CV-00046
MICHELLE A. KING, ef al.,
Defendants.

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton’s Memorandum and
Recommendation (“M&R”). (D.E. 18). The M&R recommends that the Court grant Plaintiff's
motion for summary judgment, (D.E. 11), deny the Commissioner of Social Security’s motion for
summary judgment, (D.E. 16), and reverse and remand the Commissioner’s denial of disability
benefits for further consideration. (D.E. 18, p. 12).

The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only
determine whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan
Servicing, L.P., No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon,
J.) (citation omitted).

Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous

or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 18). Accordingly, the Court
