NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
ANGELA L MULBERRY,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-00094-MP-CAS

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
___________________________________/
ORDER
This cause comes on for consideration upon the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation dated December 20, 2013. (Doc. 13). The parties have been furnished a copy
of the Report and Recommendation and have been afforded an opportunity to file objections
pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 636(b)(1). I have made a de novo
determination of any timely filed objections.
Having considered the Report and Recommendation, and any objections thereto timely
filed, I have determined that the Report and Recommendation should be adopted. The ALJ’s
reasons for giving little weight to the opinion of Dr. Santiago are clearly articulated and
supported by substantial evidence, as fully explained by the Magistrate Judge on pages 18
through 21 of the Report and Recommendation.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.

The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and incorporated
by reference in this order.
