MEMORANDUM OPINION
This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and
Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton [R. 16].
There have been no timely objections to the Report and Recommendation, and enough
time has passed since the filing of the Report and Recommendation 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 record and the parties’ pleadings, the Court is in
complete agreement with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation that plaintiff’s motion
for judgment on the pleadings be denied, and the Commissioner’s motion for summary
judgment be granted. Accordingly, the court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the Report and
Recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). It is ORDERED,
for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, which the Court adopts and
incorporates into its ruling, that the plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings [R.

11] is DENIED; the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment [R. 14] is
GRANTED; the Commissioner’s decision in this case denying plaintiff’s application for
benefits under the Social Security Act is AFFIRMED; and this case is DISMISSED.
