IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
KENNETH D. OWENS
v.
PLAINTIFF
No. 5:13-cv-295-DPM-HDY
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting
Comissioner, Social Security
Administration
DEFENDANT
ORDER
The Court adopts Judge Young's unopposed recommendation, NQ 18.
FED.R.Crv.P. 72(b)(1983 addition toAdvisoryCommitteeNotes). Owens has
some serious health issues. But substantial evidence supports the ALJ' s
determination that Owens has repeatedly failed to stick to his treatment plans.
Burnside v. Apfel, 223 F.3d 840, 844 (8th Cir. 2000). Nor did the ALJ err in
assigning little weight to Dr. Qadir's or Dr. Ball's opinions, which were
conclusory and unsupported by the record.
For these reasons, the
Commissioner's denial of benefits stands.
So Ordered.
