Neither of the parties has filed an objection to this recommendation. This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Lewis M.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge Blanton is SUSTAINED, ADOPTED AND INCORPORATED herein. The Commissioner of Social Security's decision to deny disability benefits to Plaintiff is affirmed. Dated this 23rd day of February, 2009.
