JANICE MARIE DOW v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY
**NOT FOR PRINTED PUBLICATION** ORDER OVERRULING PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTIONS AND ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The court referred this matter to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, for consideration pursuant to applicable law and orders of this court. The court received and considered the Report of the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to such order, along with the record and pleadings. The Plaintiff filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation on March 2, 2020. (Doc. No. 25). The court has received and reviewed the Plaintiff's objections, which require a de novo determination in relation to the pleadings and applicable law. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b).
In her objections, Dow repeats the same arguments as raised in her initial brief. As stated by the magistrate judge, the administrative law judge's decision is supported by substantial evidence and free from legal error. Accordingly, the court OVERRULES the Plaintiff's objections to the magistrate judge's report and ACCEPTS the magistrate judge's recommendation. A Final Judgment will be entered separately affirming the decision of the Commissioner and dismissing this action.
So ORDERED and SIGNED March 20, 2020.
