ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The Plaintiff requests judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security Administration with respect to his application for disability-based benefits. This matter
has been referred to the Honorable Keith Giblin, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont,
Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. The magistrate judge
submitted a report recommending that the decision of the Commissioner be affirmed. The court
has considered the report and recommendation filed on July 20, 2017 (Doc. No. 19) that was
without objections. The court concludes that the magistrate judge correctly identified and
discussed the points of error argued by plaintiff and analyzed those points correctly. The
magistrate judge properly examined the entire record to determine that substantial evidence
supports the administrative law judge’s determination of weight accorded to medical evidence and
the Commissioner’s denial of benefits.
Accordingly, the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct
and the report of the magistrate judge is ADOPTED. A final judgment will be entered in this case
in accordance with the magistrate judge=s recommendation.

SIGNED this the 14 day of August, 2017.
