ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (the “R&R”)
entered by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton on October 24, 2013 [Doc.
13]. In the R&R, Magistrate Judge Guyton recommended that defendant’s Motion for
Summary Judgment [Doc. 10] be granted and that plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the
Administrative Record [Doc. 9] be denied. There have been no timely objections to the
R&R, and enough time has passed since the filing of the R&R to treat any objections as
having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
After a careful review of the matter, the Court is in agreement with Magistrate
Judge Guyton’s recommendations, which the Court adopts and incorporates into its
ruling.

Accordingly, defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 10] is

GRANTED. Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record [Doc. 9] is

DENIED. The Commissioner’s decision in this case denying plaintiff’s application is
hereby AFFIRMED, and this case is DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
