JERRY PHILLIPS, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Defendant.
ORDER AFFIRMING DECISION OF THE COMMISSIONER
THE HONORABLE RONALD A. WHITE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT.
On September 9, 2021, the United States Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation in the above-referenced case, recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner's decision upholding on appeal the findings of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”), denying benefits to Plaintiff [Docket No. 18]. Plaintiff has not filed an Objection to the Report and Recommendation to affirm the ALJ's decision on the merits and the time for filing objections is past.
Upon full consideration of the record and the issues herein, this court finds that the Magistrate Judge's recommendation to affirm the ALJ is well-supported. The ALJ's decision is supported by substantial evidence, and the correct legal standards were applied.
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as this court's Findings and Order. The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
