Case No. 4:17-cv-00037
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’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 14], grant
the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 18], and affirm the Commissioner’s
decision. The R&R was filed on August 31, 2018 [ECF No. 22], and Plaintiff filed her objections
on September 14 [ECF No. 23]. The Commissioner responded [ECF No. 24], 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, Plaintiff’s Objections are hereby
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 Memorandum Opinion and the accompanying
Order to all counsel of record as well as to Magistrate Judge Hoppe.
ENTERED this 28th day of March, 2019.
