RICARDO CASTRO, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner for Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
AILEEN M. CANNON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon on the parties' cross motions for summary judgment filed by Plaintiff Ricardo Castro [ECF No. 14] and Defendant Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration [ECF No. 15]. On April 14, 2022, Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart issued a Report (“R&R”) recommending the following dispositions: denial of Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 14], grant of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 15], and affirmance of the decision of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) [ECF No. 10 pp. 26-38]. Neither party has filed any objections to the R&R.
Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that Plaintiff's Motion should be denied, and that Defendant's Motion should be granted for the reasons set forth therein.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The R&R [ECF No. 17] is ACCEPTED.
2. Defendant's Motion [ECF No. 15] is GRANTED.
3. Plaintiff's Motion [ECF No. 14] is DENIED.
4. The decision of the ALJ is AFFIRMED.
5. Final judgment to issue by separate order.
DONE AND ORDERED.
