ORDER
A Report and Recommendation (#17) was filed by Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long in the
above cause on August 15, 2016, recommending that plaintiff=s motion for summary judgment
(#13) be denied and defendant=s motion for summary judgment (#16) be granted and that the
decision to deny benefits be affirmed. On September 1, 2016, the plaintiff filed his objection
(#21) to the Magistrate Judge=s Report and Recommendation asking the court to reject the Report
and Recommendation, grant plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, vacate the decision of the
Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) and remand the matter back to the ALJ.
The Court has thoroughly reviewed the report and recommendation and objection thereto
and agrees with the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. Therefore, the recommendation of
the Magistrate Judge is accepted by the court. See Video Views, Inc. v. Studio 21, Ltd, 797 F.2d
538 (7th Cir. 1986).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
(1)

The Report and Recommendation (#17) is accepted by this court.

The plaintiff=s Motion for Summary Judgment (#13) is DENIED.

(3)

The defendant=s Motion for Summary Judgment (#16) is GRANTED.
