OPINION AND ORDER

LAWRENCE ZATKOFF, District Judge

I. INTRODUCTION

Plaintiff filed this action seeking Social Security disability benefits. This matter currently comes before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [dkt 24], in which the Magistrate Judge recommends that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [dkt 16] be denied and Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [dkt 22] be granted. Plaintiff has filed objections to the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation [dkt 25], to which Defendant has responded [dkt 27]. The Court has thoroughly reviewed the court file, the respective motions, the Report and Recommendation, Plaintiff's objections, and Defendant's response. The Court finds that the Magistrate Judge did not err in finding that the ALJ's determination was supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. The Court therefore ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [dkt 16] is DENIED, and Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [dkt 22] is GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
