CIVIL ACTION

NO. 11-3104

ORDER
AND NOW, this 23rd day of January, 2012, upon careful
and independent consideration of plaintiff Eddie Dobie’s brief
and statement of issues in support of request for review (docket
entry # 11), defendant Michael J. Astrue's response thereto
(docket entry # 14), the Honorable Linda K. Caracappa’s report
and recommendation (docket entry # 16), to which neither party
filed an objection within the period specified by Loc. R. Civ. P.
72.1 IV (b), and the Court agreeing with Judge Caracappa that the
Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) below did not err by failing to
afford the opinion of Dr. Roger Rothenberger adequate weight, and
that the ALJ’s decision was therefore supported by substantial
evidence, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1.

Judge Caracappa’s report and recommendation

(docket entry # 16) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
2.

Dobie’s brief and statement of issues in support

of request for review (docket entry # 11) is DENIED;

3.

Astrue’s decision in this matter is AFFIRMED

pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); and
4.

The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this case

statistically.

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Stewart Dalzell, J.
