ROBERT SMALL, Plaintiff v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Defendant.
ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On January 25, 2015, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court, with copies to counsel, his Report and Recommended Decision (ECF No. 24). The plaintiff filed an objection to the Recommended Decision on February 11, 2015. 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. It is further ORDERED that the plaintiff's request for oral argument is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
/s/ Nancy Torresen
United States Chief District Judge
