ORDER
The plaintiff, Steven W. Schrader (“Schrader”) suffers from depression, sinusitis, bipolar
disorder/mood disorder, attention deficit disorder, intermittent disorder, obsessive compulsive
disorder, and a learning disorder. In May 2010, he applied for disability insurance benefits and
supplemental security income. A hearing was held in March 2012, and later that month the
Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) rejected Schrader’s request for benefits. Schrader filed a
request for review, which was denied. Schrader sought further review by filing a complaint with
this court.
On July 18, 2014, Magistrate Judge David G. Bernthal issued a report and
recommendation, recommending that Schrader’s motion for summary judgment be denied, and
that the defendant’s motion for summary judgment be granted. Schrader has filed a timely
objection to Judge Bernthal’s report and recommendation.
The court has carefully reviewed Judge Bernthal’s recommendation and Schrader’s
detailed argument of perceived errors by both the ALJ and Judge Bernthal. The court need not
address each of Schrader’s objections because Judge Bernthal carefully and thoroughly
addressed the important points in his well-reasoned report and recommendation.
Therefore, the court accepts Judge Bernthal’s report and recommendation [19]. The
plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment [15] is denied. The court also grants the defendant’s
motion for summary judgment [18]. It is so ordered.
This case is terminated.
Entered this 4th day of September 2014.
