______________________________________________________________________________
This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of
United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz (Doc. No. 12), to whom this case was referred
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Judge Litkovitz recommends that the Administrative Law Judge’s
(“ALJ’s”) non-disability finding be affirmed. Plaintiff objects to the Report and Recommendation
(Doc. No. 13), and the Commissioner has not responded.
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a), the Court has reviewed the
comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo all filings in this matter,
including Plaintiff’s objections. The Court concludes that the Report and Recommendation sets
forth the applicable law and is well reasoned. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that: (1) the
Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED; (2) Plaintiff’s objections are OVERRULED; (3) the
ALJ’s non-disability finding is AFFIRMED; and (4) this case is terminated on the Court’s docket.
