CHRISTOPHER DARRELL FINCHER v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The above-entitled and numbered civil action was heretofore referred to United States Magistrate Judge Caroline M. Craven pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636. On September 6, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending the above-entitled and numbered Social Security action be affirmed. The Report of the Magistrate Judge which contains her proposed findings of fact and recommendations for the disposition of such action has been presented for consideration.
"The Commissioner's decision is granted great deference and will not be disturbed unless the reviewing court cannot find substantial evidence in the record to support the Commissioner's decision or finds that the Commissioner made an error of law." Leggett v. Chater, 67 F.3d 558, 565-66 (5th Cir. 1995). The Magistrate Judge held the Commissioner correctly applied the applicable legal standards and that substantial evidence supports the Commissioner's determination that Plaintiff is not disabled.
No objections to the Report and Recommendation were filed. Thus, any aggrieved party is barred from de novo review by the district court of the proposed findings and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. There being no grounds of plain error or manifest injustice, the Court hereby adopts the Report of the United States Magistrate Judge as the findings and conclusions of this Court. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiff's above-entitled Social Security action is hereby AFFIRMED. It is further
ORDERED that all motions not previously ruled on are DENIED, and the referral order is VACATED.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 24th day of September, 2018.
