ORDER ACCEPTING R&R [ECF No. 17], DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [ECF No. 14] AND GRANTING
DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [ECF No. 16]
Plaintiff Shayla Tabitha McAllister brought this action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 405(g), challenging the final decision of defendant Commissioner
of Social Security denying her application for supplemental security income
under the Social Security Act. Both parties filed summary judgment
motions (ECF No. 14; ECF No. 16) that were referred to the Magistrate
Judge for Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). The Magistrate Judge
issued her R&R on February 1, 2021, recommending that plaintiff’s motion
be denied, defendant’s motion be granted and the ALJ’s decision be
affirmed under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
No timely objections were filed to the R&R. The court has reviewed
