Case No. 4:13-cv-00018
ORDER
By: Hon. Jackson L. Kiser
Senior United States District Judge

Before me is the Report and Recommendation (“R & R”) of the United States Magistrate
Judge recommending that I grant the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary Judgment, deny
Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment/Motion to Remand, and affirm the final decision of
the Commissioner. The R & R was filed on August 5, 2014, and Plaintiff Kenneth J. Cooke filed
a timely Objection on August 19, 2014. The Commissioner did not respond, and the matter is
ripe for review. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). After careful review and consideration, and for the
reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, I hereby OVERRULE Plaintiff’s
Objection [ECF No. 20], ADOPT the R & R of the Honorable Joel C. Hoppe [ECF No. 19],
GRANT the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 16], DENY Plaintiff’s
Motion for Summary Judgment/Motion to Remand [ECF No. 10], AFFIRM the final decision of
the Commissioner, and DISMISS this case from the active docket of the Court.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order and the accompanying Memorandum
Opinion to all counsel of record as well as to Magistrate Judge Hoppe.
ENTERED this 12th day of September, 2014.

SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
