ENTRY AND ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS (DOC. 14), ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. 12), AFFIRMING THE DENIAL
OF BENEFITS AND TERMINATING THIS CASE
______________________________________________________________________________
This appeal from the denial of Social Security benefits is before the Court on the
Objections (Doc. 14) filed by Plaintiff Crystal Fitez-Skeens (“Plaintiff”) to Magistrate
Judge Sharon L. Ovington’s Report and Recommendations (“Report”) (Doc. 12). In the
Report, Magistrate Judge Ovington recommended that the Court affirm the ALJ’s
decision denying Plaintiff’s application for Supplemental Security Income Disability
Insurance Benefits and terminate this case. Plaintiff filed Objections (Doc. 14) to the
Report. As the Court deems no response to the Objections necessary, this matter is ripe
for review.
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the
Court has made a de novo review of the record in this case. Upon said review, the Court
finds that Plaintiff’s Objections to the Report are not well-taken and are hereby
OVERRULED. The Court ADOPTS the Report (Doc. 12) and AFFIRMS the decision

denying Plaintiff’s applications for benefits (protectively filed on June 23, 2014). This case
is hereby TERMINATED on the docket of this Court.
DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio, this Tuesday, August 21, 2018.
