ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, Brandale Sunshyne Combest, seeks judicial review of the
Commissioner’s decision to deny her application for disability insurance benefits and
supplemental security income. The court referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge,
who issued his Report and Recommendation. The Magistrate Judge concluded that the
ALJ’s findings are supported by substantial evidence, and therefore recommended that
the decision denying benefits be upheld. Neither party objects. Consequently, the court
reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error. Johnson v. Zema Sys. Corp.,
170 F.3d 734, 739 (7th Cir. 1999). After reviewing the record, the ALJ’s decision, and
the Report and Recommendation, this court is satisfied that the Magistrate Judge did not
commit clear error.

Therefore, the court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (Filing No. 23)
and AFFIRMS the decision of the ALJ.

SO ORDERED this 5th day of April 2017.
