MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Currently pending before the court is the claimant’s Motion to Dismiss. 

(Doc. 11). The motion explains that the claimant is now deceased, only her father 

surviving her. Because the above-styled case involves only SSI benefits, and the 

claimant died leaving no spouse or children, the SSI benefits at issue do not 

survive her death. Accordingly, there are no benefits available through the abovestyled case. The undersigned RECOMMENDS that the case be DISMISSED. 

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO OBJECT

Any party who objects to this Report and Recommendation must, within 

fourteen (14) days of the date on which it is entered, file specific written objections

with the clerk of this court. Any objections to the failure of the magistrate 

judge to address any contention raised in the petition also must be included. 

Failure to do so will bar any later challenge or review of the factual findings or 

legal conclusions of the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Thomas 

v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 106 S. Ct. 466, 88 L. Ed. 2d 435 (1985), reh’g denied, 474 

U.S. 1111, 106 S. Ct. 899, 88 L. Ed. 2d 933 (1986); Nettles v. Wainwright, 677 

F.2d 404 (5th Cir. 1982)(en banc). In order to challenge the findings of the 

magistrate judge, a party must file with the clerk of the court written objections 

which shall specifically identify the portions of the proposed findings and 

recommendation to which objection is made and the specific basis for objection. A 

copy of the objections must be served upon all other parties to the action.

Upon receipt of objections meeting the specificity requirement set out above, 

a United States District Judge shall make a de novo determination of those portions 

of the report, proposed findings, or recommendation to which objection is made 

and may accept, reject, or modify in whole or in part, the findings or 

recommendation made by the magistrate judge. The district judge, however, need 

conduct a hearing only in his or her discretion or if required by law, and may 

consider the record developed before the magistrate judge, making his or her own 

determination on the basis of that record. The district judge may also receive

further evidence, recall witnesses or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge 

with instructions.

Objections not meeting the specificity requirement set out above will not be 

considered by a district judge.

A party may not appeal a magistrate judge’s recommendation directly to the 

United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Appeals may be made 

only from a final judgment entered by or at the direction of a district judge.

DONE and ORDERED on February 18, 2015.
