DOROTHY BATTIE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER
KATHLEEN M. WILLIAMS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
THIS MATTER is before the Court on U.S. Magistrate Judge Chris M. McAliley's Report and Recommendation (“the Report”) (DE 32) that the Court deny Plaintiff Dorothy Battie's (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 22) and grant the Commissioner of Social Security's (“Defendant”) Motion for Summary Judgment. (DE 23.) On October 28, 2020, Plaintiff initiated the above-captioned case, seeking judicial review of Defendant's decision denying her Social Security disability benefits and supplemental security income payments. (DE 1.) In the Report, Judge McAliley found that “substantial evidence supports the [Administrative Law Judge's] assessment of Plaintiff's testimony regarding her symptoms.” (DE 32 at 18.) Plaintiff has objected to the Report. (DE 33.) Upon an independent review of the Report, Plaintiff's objections, the record, and applicable case law, the Court agrees with Judge McAliley's findings.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The conclusions in the Report (DE 32) are AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED.
2. Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 22) is DENIED.
