ORDER
Plaintiff Angela Davidson filed this case seeking judicial review of the Social
Security Administration’s determination that she is not disabled under the Social Security
Act. The matter was referred to U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Purcell for initial proceedings
consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), (b)(3), and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). Judge Purcell
has submitted a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Commissioner’s
decision be affirmed.
The parties were advised of their right to file an objection to the Report. Plaintiff
has filed an objection to the Report, triggering de novo review by the court as to the issues
as to which objection is made. The background of proceedings is set forth in the Report
and need not be repeated here.
Plaintiff’s objections to the Report are perfunctory, essentially limited to repeating
the arguments included in her prior briefs.

Notwithstanding the limited additional

discussion, the court has conducted the necessary de novo review of the matters to which
objection has been made and concludes, for substantially the reasons stated by Judge

Purcell, that the Report [Doc. #21] should be and is ADOPTED. The judgment of the
Commissioner is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 14th day of August, 2018.
