CHIEF JUDGE CRENSHAW

ORDER
Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 18) in which the
Magistrate Judge recommends denying the Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Administrative
Record (Doc. No. 15) and affirming the decision of the Commissioner to deny Plaintiff’s
application for benefits. No objection has been timely filed despite specific instructions that were
provided to Plaintiff in the Report and Recommendation.
The Court has carefully reviewed the Report and Recommendation and agrees with the
Magistrate Judge’s careful analysis. The ALJ’s decision is supported by substantial evidence and
Plaintiff has not offered persuasive argument to the contrary. Accordingly, the Report and
Recommendation (Doc. No. 18) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED. The Motion for Judgment on
the Administrative Record (Doc. No. 15) is DENIED and the final decision of the Commissioner
is AFFIRMED.
This is a final order. The Clerk shall issue an appropriate judgment under the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
