No. 1:15-cv-778
(Judge Kane)
(Magistrate Judge Cohn)

ORDER
THE BACKGROUND OF THIS ORDER IS AS FOLLOWS:
On September 30, 2016, Magistrate Judge Cohn issued his Report and Recommendation
in the above-captioned action. (Doc. No. 18.) Objections to the Report and Recommendation
were due by October 17, 2016. On October 12, 2016, Defendant filed a Limited Objection to the
Report and Recommendation, for the sole purpose of clarifying that the heading “Report and
Recommendation to Vacate the Decision of the Commissioner and Remand for Further
Proceedings” was a typographical error, in light of the fact that the substance of Magistrate
Judge Cohn’s Report and Recommendation recommends affirming the Commissioner’s decision
that the ALJ’s denial of Plaintiff’s application for benefits was supported by substantial
evidence. (Doc. No. 19.) Plaintiff filed no timely objections to the Report and
Recommendation.
Accordingly, on this 24th day of October 2016, upon review of the record and the
applicable law, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

The Court adopts the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 18) of Magistrate
Judge Cohn, except the heading indicating an intent “To Vacate the Decision of
the Commissioner and Remand for Further Proceedings”;

2.

Plaintiff’s appeal is DENIED, as the Commissioner’s decision that the ALJ’s
denial of benefits was supported by substantial evidence is AFFIRMED; and

3.

The Clerk of Court is directed to close the case.
