CIVIL ACTION NO. H-11-0727

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION AND ENTERING
FINAL JUDGMENT
This court has reviewed the Memorandum and Recommendation on Cross-Motions for
Summary Judgment of the United States Magistrate Judge signed on March 2, 2012, and made a de
novo determination. Rule 72(b), Fed. R. Civ. P.; 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); United States v. Wilson,
864 F.2d 1219 (5th Cir. 1989). No objections have been filed. Based on the pleadings, the record,
and the applicable law, the court adopts the Memorandum and Recommendation as this court’s
Memorandum and Order. This court finds and concludes that the Administrative Law Judge’s
decision denying social security benefits was supported by substantial evidence and proper
application of the governing law. Accordingly, the defendant’s motion for summary judgment
(Docket Entry No. 9) is granted and the plaintiff’s motion (Docket Entry No. 12) is denied. This
appeal is dismissed, with prejudice.
This is a final judgment.
SIGNED on March 19, 2012, at Houston, Texas.
