JENNIFER R. PLATO, PLAINTIFF v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, DEFENDANT
ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On July 18, 2013, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the court, with copies to counsel, his Report and Recommended Decision. The plaintiff filed her objection to the Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision on August 12, 2013. Oral argument was held on September 23, 2013. I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision, together with the entire record. To the degree that it is not implicit in the Recommended Decision that the Magistrate Judge considered the new evidence cumulatively as well as separately, I find on de novo review that, considered cumulatively, the new evidence does not justify granting the plaintiff's motion to remand. 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 herebyADOPTED. The plaintiff's motion for remand is DENIED and the Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
