DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#15], GRANTING
DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#18], AND AFFIRMING THE
COMMISSIONER’S FINDINGS
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment
as to Plaintiff Rondell T. Williams’ claim for judicial review of Defendant Commissioner of
Social Security’s (“the Commissioner”) denial of his application for supplemental security
income benefits. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder, who
issued a Report and Recommendation on July 16, 2014, recommending that the Court
deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment, grant Defendant’s Motion for Summary
Judgment, and affirm the Commissioner’s findings. Neither party has filed objections to the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, and the time for filing objections has
expired. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

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
Binder’s July 16, 2014, Report and Recommendation [#20] as this Court’s findings of fact
and conclusions of law. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment [#15] is DENIED.
Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment [#18] is GRANTED.
