ORDER

This matter is before me on the parties’ Cross Motions for Summary Judgment (docket
nos. 11 and 12) and the Report & Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Robert S.
Ballou (docket no. 16, hereinafter “R&R”). Pursuant to Standing Order 2011 – 17 and 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1)(B), the Court referred this matter to the Magistrate Judge for proposed findings of
fact and a recommended disposition. The Magistrate Judge filed his R&R, advising this Court to
deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and grant the Commissioner’s Motion for
Summary Judgment. After a review of the record in this case, and no objections having been
filed to the R&R within fourteen days of its service upon the parties, I adopt the R&R in its
entirety.
Accordingly:
1. The R&R of August 5, 2014 (docket no. 16) is hereby ADOPTED in its entirety;
2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (docket no. 11) is hereby DENIED;
3. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (docket no. 12) is hereby
GRANTED;
4. This case is hereby DISMISSED.
It is so ORDERED.

The Clerk of the Court is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this Order to all
counsel of record and to United States Magistrate Judge Robert S. Ballou.
