MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on January 10, 2014, recommending
that the court affirm the Commissioner’s decision denying the claimant Supplemental Security
Income and Disability Insurance Benefits. (Doc. 13). No party filed any objections.
The court has carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file,
including the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the parties’ briefs, and the record in
this case. The court ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his recommendation
that the court AFFIRM the Commissioner’s decision. The court finds that the ALJ properly applied
the applicable legal standards and that substantial evidence supports his decision that the claimant
is not entitled to disability benefits.
The court will enter an separate Order in conformity with this Memorandum Opinion.
DONE and ORDERED this 10th day of February, 2014.
