Summary
In Parker, the Court concluded that the ALJ permissibly found that the claimant's combination of impairments did not meet or equal the listing for Parkinsonian syndrome, where the ALJ made an independent assessment that the record did not include any finding of rigidity, bradykinesia, or tremor in two extremities, which singly or in combination, result in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movements, or gait and station.

GARY E. PARKER, PLAINTIFF v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING COMMISSIONER, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, DEFENDANT
ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On June 25, 2014, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court, with copies to counsel, his Report and Recommended Decision. The plaintiff filed an objection to the Recommended Decision on July 14, 2014. I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ADOPTED. The Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 15TH DAY OF JULY, 2014
