MAGISTRATE JUDGE BROWN

Defendant.
ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. No.
30) on Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record (Doc. No. 28). In the Report
and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge finds the Administrative Law Judge’s (“ALJ”)
conclusion that Plaintiff is not disabled is supported by substantial evidence.

Addressing

Plaintiff’s claims of error, the Magistrate Judge finds the ALJ considered evidence of Plaintiff’s
alleged “worsening condition” and adequately explained the weight given to the opinions of the
state psychological consultant and the treating physician. The Magistrate Judge also finds the ALJ
addressed Plaintiff’s “postural limitations” when determining that Plaintiff could perform past
relevant work given his current residual functional capacity. The Magistrate Judge recommends
Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgement on the Administrative Record be denied, and the decision of the
Commissioner affirmed.
The Report and Recommendation advised the parties that any objections to the Magistrate
Judge’s findings were to be filed within fourteen days of service. (Doc. No. 30 at 22.) No
objections were filed.

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and concludes that it should be
adopted and approved. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Administrative
Record is DENIED and the Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED. This Order shall constitute
the final judgment in this case pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.
It is so ORDERED.
