Judge Mattice
Magistrate Judge Lee

ORDER
On January 20, 2015, United States Magistrate Judge Susan K. Lee filed her
Report and Recommendation (Doc. 15) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). Magistrate Judge Lee recommended that (1) Plaintiff’s
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Doc. 11) be denied; (2) Defendant’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (Doc. 13) be granted; (3) the Decision of the Commissioner be
affirmed; and (4) this action be dismissed.
Plaintiff has filed timely objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation. (Doc. 16). However, these objections merely restate the arguments
set forth in Plaintiff’s Memorandum in Support of Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings, which were fully addressed in Magistrate Judge Lee’s Report and
Recommendation.

(Compare Doc. 12 with Doc. 16; see Doc. 15).

The Court has

conducted a review of the Report and Recommendation, as well as the record, and it
agrees with Magistrate Judge Lee’s well-reasoned conclusions.

Accordingly:


The Court ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Lee’s findings of
fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations pursuant to § 636(b)(1)
and Rule 72(b);



Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Doc. 11) is DENIED;



Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 13) is GRANTED;



The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED;



This case is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

SO ORDERED this 11th day of February, 2015.
