correctly concluded, the Commissioner’s decision is supported by the substantial
evidence in the record.
Accordingly, the court hereby adopts and approves the findings and
recommendation of the magistrate judge as the findings and conclusions of this court.

DISMISSED. A separate Order will be entered.
