Plaintiff,

Commissioner of the Social
Security Administration,
Defendant.

Case No. CIV-10-1154-F

ORDER
On December 13, 2011, United States Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin issued
Findings and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge, wherein he recommended that
the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration denying
plaintiff’s applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security
income benefits be affirmed.
Presently before the court is plaintiff’s timely objection to the Findings and
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the
court has conducted a de novo review of the matter. Having done so, the court
concurs with Magistrate Judge Erwin’s analysis. The court finds plaintiff’s arguments
are without merit. Therefore, the court accepts, adopts and affirms the Findings and
Recommendation of Magistrate Judge.
Accordingly, the Findings and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge issued by
United States Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin on December 13, 2011 (doc. no. 15)
is ACCEPTED, ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. The final decision of defendant,
Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, denying

plaintiff’s applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security
income benefits is AFFIRMED.
DATED January 19, 2012.
