DANIEL JOSEPH MADRID v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
On November 18, 2013, the United States magistrate judge issued his findings, conclusions, and recommendation ("the findings") in this case. In the findings, the magistrate judge recommended that the Court affirm the decision of the commissioner of the Social Security Administration denying Plaintiff's claims for supplemental security income under Title XVI of the Social Security Act. An order issued that same day gave all parties until December 2 to serve and file with the Court written objections to the findings. Plaintiff has filed his objections. The commissioner did not file a response.
After review, the Court concludes that the findings should be, and are hereby, ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of this Court for the reasons stated therein. Accordingly, the commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
