CIVIL ACTION
No. 16-1110

ORDER
This day of 30th day of January, 2017, upon consideration of Plaintiff's Request for
Review, Defendant's Response thereto, and Plaintiff’s Reply, and after careful review of the

administrative record and of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge,
and Plaintiff’s objections, I am persuaded that any error committed by the Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) is harmless, that the ALJ properly credited the testimony of Dr. Foad as more
consistent with the evidence and the medical record, and properly discounted the testimony of
Dr. Stricklan as inconsistent with the evidence and the medical record.
It is therefore ORDERED that:
1.

The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED.

2. The Plaintiff’s Request for Review is DENIED.

/s/ Gerald Austin McHugh
United States District Judge
