UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
RICHMOND DIVISION

LATISHA MONIQUE SIMPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

Action No. 3:13‐CV‐250

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Commissioner, Social Security Administration,

Defendant.

ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Latisha Monique Simpson’s objections to Judge
David J. Novak’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) affirming the Social Security
Administration’s denial of an application for Social Security Disability and Supplemental
Security Income payments. The decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration, Carolyn W. Colvin, to deny benefits was based on a finding by an
Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) who determined that Simpson is not disabled according to
the Social Security Act. Because the ALJ applied the correct legal standard and came to a
conclusion supported by substantial evidence, the Court OVERRULES Simpson’s objection and
ADOPTS Judge Novak’s R&R as the ruling of this Court.
Let the Clerk send a copy of this Order to all counsel of record.
It is SO ORDERED.

ENTERED this

28th
