IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
MARGARET TERESA JOHNSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 1:15-cv-00212-MP-GRJ

CAROLYN W COLVIN,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This cause comes on for consideration upon the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation dated October 26, 2016. (Doc. 17). 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). Plaintiff has filed objections at Doc.
18. I have made a de novo review based on those objections. Having considered the Report and
Recommendation, and the timely filed objections, I have determined that the Report and
Recommendation should be adopted. The Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge that the
Administrative Law Judge provided adequate, specific reasons for rejecting the treating
physician’s conclusion that plaintiff was totally disabled. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.
2.

The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and incorporated
by reference in this order.
The Clerk is directed to enter judgment stating that decision of the
Commissioner, denying benefits, is affirmed. The Clerk should close the file.

DONE AND ORDERED this 29th day of December, 2016
