Case No. 3:16-cv-382
02-20-2018
SUSAN L. KESTEL, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ENTRY AND ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS (DOC. 14), ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. 13), AFFIRMING THE COMMISSIONER'S DENIAL OF BENEFITS AND TERMINATING CASE
This social security case is before the Court on the Objections (Doc. 14) filed by Plaintiff Susan Kestel ("Kestel") to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendations ("Report") (Doc. 13). Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington found that Kestel's contentions that the ALJ erred in considering Kestel's application for social security benefits lacked merit. She therefore recommended that the Court affirm the Commissioner's denial of benefits. Kestel filed Objections (Doc. 14) to the Report.
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the Court has made a de novo review of the record in this case. Upon said review, the Court finds that Kestel's Objections (Doc. 14) to the Report (Doc. 13) are not well-taken and they are hereby OVERRULED. The Court ADOPTS the Report (Doc. 13) and, accordingly, AFFIRMS the Commissioner's denial of benefits. This case shall be TERMINATED on the Court's docket.
DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio, this Tuesday, February 20, 2018.
