ENTRY AND ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS (DOC. 16), ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (DOC. 15), AFFIRMING THE
COMMISSIONER’S NON-DISABILITY FINDING, AND TERMINATING THIS
CASE
______________________________________________________________________________
This Social Security disability benefits appeal is before the Court on the Objections (Doc.
16) filed by Plaintiff Jason F. Ruff (“Plaintiff”) to Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman’s Report
and Recommendation (“Report”) (Doc. 15). Magistrate Judge Newman recommended that the
Commissioner’s non-disability finding be affirmed. Plaintiff filed Objections to the Report.
(Doc. 16.) The Commissioner has not responded to Plaintiff’s Objections, but the Court deems
no response necessary based upon its review of the record. This matter is therefore 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 (Doc. 16) to the Report are not well-taken and are OVERRULED. The
Court ADOPTS the Report (Doc. 15) and rules as follows:
1. The Commissioner’s non-disability finding is supported by substantial evidence
in the record and is AFFIRMED; and

2. This case is TERMINATED on the docket of this Court.
DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio, this Tuesday, May 7, 2019.
