ANTHONY LEE BAUMAN, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff is appealing an adverse decision of Defendant, Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A United States Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation on April 30, 2012, and Plaintiff filed objections to the Report and Recommendation on May 14, 2012. The Court has made a de novo review of the records and finds Plaintiff's objections to be without merit. The Court further finds that the ALJ applied correct legal standards and that substantial evidence supports his decision.
Accordingly, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff's objections, ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and DISMISSES with prejudice Plaintiff's complaint.
