Cause No. 4:15 CV 156 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 benefits 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 Shirley Padmore
Mensah for a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Judge
Mensah issued a Report and Recommendation on February 26, 2016 that
recommended that the Commissioner’s decision to deny benefits should be
affirmed. Judge Mensah 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 Mensah’s Report and Recommendation had to be
filed by March 11, 2016. 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 Mensah is SUSTAINED, ADOPTED AND
INCORPORATED herein. The Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to
deny Supplemental Security Income benefits to Plaintiff is affirmed.
