IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
ROSCOE DOUGLAS,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-00008-MP-GRJ

MICHAEL J ASTRUE,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Doc. 23, 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. Upon
consideration, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge that the ALJ properly relied upon the
plaintiff’s past relevant work as an office helper while on work release, and also properly found
that plaintiff could perform other jobs. Moreover, the Court agrees that substantial evidence
supported the ALJ’s decision that plaintiff’s complaints regarding the severity of his pain were
not credible. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.

The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is adopted and
incorporated herein.

2.

The decision of the Commissioner, denying benefits, is affirmed.

DONE AND ORDERED this 11th day of October, 2011
