ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on September
30, 2013 his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 18). The Plaintiff filed his
objections to the Recommended Decision on October 17, 2013 (ECF No. 19),

Recommended Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de
novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge's
Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the
United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his
Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is
necessary.
1.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the
Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED.

2. It is further ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on
the Administrative Record (ECF No. 13) be and hereby is
GRANTED.
3. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the
Record (ECF No. 14) be and hereby is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
