Case No. 3:15-CV-68-PLR-CCS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation filed by United States
Magistrate C. Clifford Shirley [R. 20]. 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 [R. 14] be denied, and the commissioner’s motion for summary judgment [R. 18]
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
Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment [R. 18] is GRANTED, and the plaintiff’s motion
for judgment on the pleadings [R. 14] is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
