Cause No. 4:11CV1554 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on a Report and Recommendation to affirm the decision of the
Commissioner of Social Security to deny Plaintiff Disability Insurance Benefits under Title II of
the Social Security Act and Supplemental Security Income under Title XVI of the Social Security
Act. Neither of the parties has filed an objection to this recommendation.
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Thomas C. Mummert for a
Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Judge Mummert issued a Report
and Recommendation on August 2, 2012 that recommended that the Commissioner’s decision to
deny benefits should be affirmed. Judge Mummert found that the Administrative Law Judge’s
determination that Plaintiff was not entitled to benefits was supported by substantial evidence in
the record.
Any objections to Judge Mummert’s Report and Recommendation had to be filed by
August 20, 2012. Neither of the parties has filed an objection as of today’s date.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge Mummert is SUSTAINED, ADOPTED AND INCORPORATED herein.
The Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny Disability Insurance Benefits and
Supplemental Security Income benefits to Plaintiff is affirmed.
