CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:15cv92

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED
STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, which contains her findings,
conclusions, and recommendation for the disposition of this action, has been presented for
consideration.

The Report and Recommendation recommends that the decision of the

Commissioner be affirmed and that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff filed
written objections on September 21, 2016.
Having made a de novo review of the objection filed by Plaintiff, the findings,
conclusions and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge are correct and Plaintiff’s objection is
without merit. As fully described in the Report and Recommendation, there is substantial
evidence in the record supporting the Commissioner’s decision and the ALJ applied the correct
legal standards. Plaintiff’s objection does not show that the ALJ failed to apply the applicable
legal standard, as alleged. The ALJ’s opinion thoroughly explained his credibility finding and
applied the correct legal standard. The findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are,
therefore, adopted as those of the Court. It is

1

ORDERED that Plaintiff’s objection is OVERRULED.

The decision of the

Commissioner is AFFIRMED and this Social Security action is DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE. It is further
ORDERED that any motion not previously ruled on is DENIED.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 28 day of September, 2016.
