Case No. 4:10-cv-94
Judge Mattice
Magistrate Judge Lee

ORDER
On January 26, 2012, United States Magistrate Judge Susan K. Lee filed her Report
and Recommendation (Doc. 27) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 72(b). Plaintiff has filed timely objections. (Doc. 28).
The Court has reviewed the record and Magistrate Judge Lee’s Report and
Recommendation de novo, including those portions of the Report and Recommendation
to which Plaintiff objects. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Plaintiff’s objections raise no new
arguments but are largely reiterations of issues she previously raised in support of her
Motion for Summary Judgment. (See Doc. 17). Further analysis of these same issues
would be cumulative and is unwarranted in light of Magistrate Judge Lee’s well-reasoned
and well-supported Report and Recommendation, in which she fully addressed Plaintiff’s
arguments.
Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Lee’s findings of
fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations pursuant to § 636(b) and Rule 72(b).
Plaintiff’s objections (Doc. 28) are OVERRULED. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment
(Doc. 16) is DENIED. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 25) is GRANTED.

The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED, and this action is DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE.
The Clerk shall close this case.

SO ORDERED this 28th day of March, 2012.
