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 deny Plaintiff Brenda Shelton’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Summary
Judgment/Motion to Remand [ECF No. 15], grant the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary
Judgment [ECF No. 19], and affirm the Commissioner’s decision. The R&R was filed on July 2,
2018 [ECF No. 21], and Plaintiff filed objections on July 17 [ECF No. 22]. The Commissioner
responded [ECF No. 23], 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 that Plaintiff’s Objections are OVERRULED, the R&R is
ADOPTED, Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment/Motion to Remand 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 the accompanying Memorandum
Opinion to all counsel of record as well as to Magistrate Judge Hoppe.
ENTERED this 24th day of October, 2018.
