TERESITA IVONNE GUTIERREZ, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
KATHLEEN M. WILLIAMS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Melissa Damian's Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (DE 23) on Plaintiff Teresita Ivonne Gutierrez's (“Ms. Gutierrez's”) Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 16) and Defendant's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 20). No. objections were filed to the Report, which recommends the Court deny Ms. Gutierrez's Motion for Summary Judgment and grant Defendant's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. (DE 23 at 18.) The Report finds that the Administrative Law Judge's (“ALJ's”) “decision denying Ms. Gutierrez's claims for SSI and SSDI are supported by substantial record evidence and that the ALJ applied the correct legal standards.” (Id.) Upon a careful review of the Report and the record, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
Defendant filed a joint Response in Opposition and Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 20; DE 21 (repeat filing)) to which Ms. Gutierrez filed a Reply (DE 22).
1. Judge Damian's Report (DE 23) is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED.
2. Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 16) is DENIED.
3. Defendant's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 20) is GRANTED.
4. The Clerk is ordered to CLOSE the case.
DONE AND ORDERED.
