Plaintiff sought judicial review of the final decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security denying her application for disability insurance benefits. The Court has received a
Report and Recommendation from the Honorable Karen K. Klein, United States Magistrate
Judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, recommending the decision of the Commissioner be
affirmed (Doc. #22). Neither party has filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.
After carefully reviewing the Report and Recommendation, along with the entire file, the
Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s analysis. Accordingly, the Court hereby adopts the
Report and Recommendation in its entirety. For the reasons set forth therein, Plaintiff’s motion
for summary judgment, or in the alternative, motion to remand (Doc. #14) is hereby DENIED;
Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. #19) is hereby GRANTED; and the
Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.
