Cause No. 4:11CV2085 RWS

RICHARD GORMAN, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on Richard Gorman's appeal from an adverse ruling of the Social Security Administration. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge David D. Noce, who filed his Report and Recommendation on December 3, 2012. Judge Noce recommended that the Commissioner's decision to deny benefits be affirmed. Judge Noce found that the Administrative Law Judge's determination that Plaintiff was not entitled to benefits was supported by substantial evidence in the record.
Any objections to Judge Noce's Report and Recommendation had to be filed by December 17, 2012. Neither of the parties has filed an objection as of today's date.
After careful consideration, I will adopt and sustain the thorough reasoning of Judge Noce set forth in support of his recommended ruling and will affirm the decision of the Commissioner.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge Noce [#20] is SUSTAINED, ADOPTED AND INCORPORATED herein. The Commissioner of Social Security's decision to deny Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income benefits to Plaintiff is affirmed.
