ORDER

Plaintiff Tammy S. Brown brought this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), seeking
judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, which denied Plaintiff’s
claims for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. ECF No. 1. This matter
is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (R&R) filed by United States
Magistrate Judge Gossett on July 20, 2016, ECF No. 21, to whom this case was previously assigned
pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2), DSC. In
the R&R, the Magistrate Judge recommends affirming the Commissioner’s decision. Objections
to the R&R were due on August 8, 2016, and no objections were received.
This Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate
Judge’s Report to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that Report. 28 U.S.C. § 636. In the absence
of objections to the R&R, this Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the
recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983).
In light of the standard above this Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s
R&R and, noting that no objections were received, the R&R is hereby ACCEPTED. For the
reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, the Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
