ORDER

JUDGE NORMAN K. MOON

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ cross Motions for Summary Judgment
(docket nos. 15 and 18), and the Report & Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge
Robert S. Ballou (docket no. 24, hereinafter “Report”). Pursuant to Standing Order 2011-17 and
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), I referred this matter to Judge Ballou for proposed findings of fact and
a recommended disposition. The parties filed cross motions for summary judgment, and on
August 11, 2015, Judge Ballou filed a Report recommending that Plaintiff’s Motion for
Summary Judgment (docket no. 15) be denied, and the Commissioner’s Motion for Summary
Judgment (docket no. 18) be granted. After a review of the record in this case, and no objections
having been filed to the Report within fourteen days of its service upon the parties, I adopt the
Report in its entirety.

Accordingly:
1.

The Report of August 11, 2015, is hereby ADOPTED in its entirety;

2.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (docket no. 15) is hereby DENIED;

3.

Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (docket no. 18) is hereby
GRANTED; and

4.

This case is hereby DISMISSED.

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.
It is so ORDERED.
Entered this 31st day of August, 2015.
