Plaintiff brought this action seeking judicial review of a determination of the Commissioner of Social Security finding that he was not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act.

No objections were filed.

Based upon a careful review of entire file and the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge, the Report-Recommendation is accepted in whole. See 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1). Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that

1. The defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED;

2. The Commissioner's finding of no disability is AFFIRMED;

3. Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED in its entirety; and

4. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
