ORDER
This matter is before this court for review of the
Memorandum Opinion and Recommendation (“Recommendation”) filed
on August 29, 2019, by the Magistrate Judge in accordance with
28 U.S.C. § 636(b). (Doc. 16.) In the Recommendation, the
Magistrate Judge recommends that the Commissioner’s decision
finding no disability be affirmed, that Plaintiff’s Motion for
Judgment Reversing the Commissioner, (Doc. 9), be denied, that
Defendant’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, (Doc. 12), be
granted, and that this action be dismissed with prejudice. The
Recommendation was served on the parties to this action on
August 29, 2019, (Doc. 17). Counsel for Plaintiff filed timely
objections, (Doc. 18), to the Recommendation and counsel for the
Commissioner filed a response to Plaintiff’s objections, (Doc.
19).
This court is required to “make a de novo determination of
those portions of the [Magistrate Judge’s] report or specified
proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is
made.”
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). This court “may accept, reject,
or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations
made by the [M]agistrate [J]udge. . . . [O]r recommit the matter
to the [M]agistrate [J]udge with instructions.” Id.
This court has appropriately reviewed the portions of the
Recommendation to which objection was made and has made a de
novo determination which is in accord with the Magistrate
Judge’s Recommendation. This court finds that Plaintiff’s
objections do not change the substance of the United States
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation, (Doc. 15), which is affirmed
and adopted.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s
Recommendation, (Doc. 16), is ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED
that Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment Reversing or Modifying the
Decision of the Commissioner of Social Security or Remanding the
Cause for a Rehearing, (Doc. 9), is DENIED, that Defendant’s
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, (Doc. 12), is GRANTED,
that the Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED, and that this
action be dismissed with prejudice.

A Judgment dismissing this action will be entered
contemporaneously with this Order.
This the 25th day of September, 2019.
