UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
KENNETH FOUNTAIN 	CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS 	NO. 24-2876
SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 	SECTION: “J”(5)
ORDER
The Court, having considered the record, the applicable law, the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (Rec. Doc. 19), and Petitioner
Kenneth Fountain’s Objection (Rec. Doc. 20), hereby approves the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and adopts it as its opinion
in this matter.
In this review of the Social Security Commissioner’s denial of Plaintiff’s claim
for Disability Insurance Benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, Magistrate
Judge North recommended that Plaintiff’s brief be rejected, the Commissioner’s brief
be adopted, and Plaintiff’s case be dismissed with prejudice. In reaching this
conclusion, Judge North considered four issues on appeal. Plaintiff objects to the
Magistrate Judge’s findings and conclusions based on the exact same four grounds
that formed the basis of Judge North’s review. This Court finds that Judge North
applied the correct standard of review to the Administrative Law Judge’s decision,
and therefore, the Court declines to relitigate the same four issues that have already
been thoroughly considered and properly decided.
