ORDER

eE.KUfi•

This 25th day of January, 2016, upon de novo review of Plaintiffs Request for Review
and Defendant's response, and after a careful and comprehensive review of the Report and
Recommendation of United States Chief Magistrate Judge Linda K. Caracappa and Plaintiffs
Objections thereto, it is ORDERED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED.
2. Plaintiffs Objections are OVERRULED. Chief Magistrate Judge Caracappa
did not: (1) misapply Chandler v. Comm'r ofSoc. Sec., 667 F.3d 356 (3d Cir.
2011), (2) disregard the relevant SSA regulations, or (3) err in concluding that the
ALJ's findings as to Mr. Brunson's credibility were supported by substantial
evidence, as suggested by Plaintiff. In stark contrast, the twenty-six page Report
and Recommendation is exceptionally thorough and well-supported by detailed
citations to the record as well as applicable case law and agency regulations.
