Case No. 4:16-cv-00056
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 [ECF No.
21], deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 18], and affirm the
Commissioner’s decision. The R&R was filed on January 24, 2018 [ECF No. 25], and Plaintiff
Diana L. Goins filed objections on February 7 [ECF No. 26]. The Commissioner responded
[ECF No. 27], and the matter is now ripe for review. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). After careful
review and consideration, and for the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion,
it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Plaintiff’s objections are OVERRULED, the
R&R is ADOPTED in its entirety, Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED, and
the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED. The clerk is directed to
close this case.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order and accompanying Memorandum
Opinion to all counsel of record as well as to Magistrate Judge Hoppe.
ENTERED this 23rd day of August, 2018.

SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
