MEMORANDUM OPINION
On June 13, 2018, the magistrate judge entered a report and recommendation
and allowed the parties therein fourteen days in which to file objections to the
recommendations made by the magistrate judge. On June 25, 2018, the plaintiff filed
a plethora of objections to the report and recommendation that take issue with
virtually every statement in the magistrate judge’s report, but boil down to basically
the same arguments rejected by both the magistrate judge and the ALJ. The shotgun
approach to objections obfuscates any possible merit any one objection might
possibly have and the court could find no “needle-in-the-haystack” error in the
magistrate judge’s report.
After careful consideration of the record in this case, the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendation, and the plaintiff’s objections, the court hereby ADOPTS

the report of the magistrate judge.

The court further ACCEPTS the

recommendations of the magistrate judge that the decision of the Commissioner be
affirmed and OVERRULES the plaintiff’s objections.
The court will enter a separate order in conformity with this Memorandum
Opinion.
DONE and ORDERED this 20th day of September, 2018.
