MICHAEL J ASTRUE, Defendant. _____________________________/ ORDER This matter is before the Court on Doc. 27, Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, recommending that the decision of the Commissioner, denying benefits, be affirmed. The time for filing objections has passed, and none have been filed.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. 2. The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is adopted and incorporated herein. The decision of the Commissioner, denying benefits, is affirmed. CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00242-MP-AK
