This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment as to
Plaintiff Rae Ann Johnson’s claim for judicial review of Defendant Commissioner of Social

Upon review of the parties’ briefing and the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the
Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge reached the correct conclusion. Therefore, the Court
hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Whalen’s April 22, 2014 Report and
-1-

Recommendation [#14] as this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Defendant’s Motion
for Summary Judgment [#13] is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment [#9] is
