CIVIL ACTION 4:17-CV-46-Y

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
The Court has made an independent review of the following matters
in the above-styled and -numbered cause:
1.

The pleadings and record;

2.
The findings, conclusions, and recommendation of
the United States magistrate judge filed on June 29,
2017 (doc. 17); and
3.
Plaintiff's objections to the findings, conclusions,
and recommendation of the United States magistrate judge
filed on July 13.
Plaintiff makes the same arguments in her objections that were
addressed in detail in the magistrate judge's report.

Essentially,

Plaintiff argues that the Administrative Law Judge’s finding that her
mental impairment is not severe is not supported by substantial
evidence.

But Plaintiff fails to even address the substantial

evidence noted by the magistrate judge.

(FCR (doc. 17) 5–6.)

On the

false premise that there is no substantial evidence, Plaintiff
conclusorily asserts error.
After

de

novo

review,

the

Court

concludes

that

the

Commissioner's decision should be affirmed for the reasons stated in

the magistrate judge's report of his findings, conclusions, and
recommendation.
It is ORDERED that the report of the magistrate judge should
be and hereby is ADOPTED as the decision of this Court.

As a

result, the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.
SIGNED October 26, 2017.
