Case No. 4:12CV01799 AGF/TCM

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Currently before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge Thomas C. Mummert, to whom this matter was referred for
recommended disposition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). (Doc. No. 18.) On November
21, 2013, the Magistrate Judge filed his Report and Recommendation, recommending
that the Court uphold the decision of the Administrative Law Judge to deny Plaintiff
disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 40433. Neither party has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation and the time
to do so has expired.
Upon careful consideration of the Report and Recommendation and the record in
this case, the Court concurs with the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that the

1

Carolyn W. Colvin became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on February
14, 2013. Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Carolyn W.
Colvin is substituted for Michael J. Astrue as the Defendant in this suit. No further action
needs to be taken to continue this suit by reason of the last sentence of section 205(g) of
the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

Administrative Law Judge’s decision in this matter, finding Plaintiff not disabled and
thus not entitled to disability benefits, should be affirmed.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United
States Magistrate Judge Thomas C. Mummert is SUSTAINED, ADOPTED, and
INCORPORATED herein. [Doc. No. 18.]
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the decision of the Commissioner denying
Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social
Security Act is AFFIRMED.
A separate Judgment shall accompany this Memorandum and Order.

AUDREY G. FLEISSIG
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Dated this 23rd day of December, 2013.
