UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE DIVISION
CASSANDRA MOORE,
on behalf of R.T.B.,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 4:24-cv-513-TKW-ZCB
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
ORDER
This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 17) and Plaintiff’s objections (Doc. 18). The Court
reviewed the issues raised in the objection de novo under 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1) and
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3), and based on that review, the Court agrees with the
magistrate judge’s determination that the Social Security Commissioner’s decision
should be affirmed because it is supported by substantial evidence.
When the ALJ’s decision is read as a whole (as it must be), it is apparent why
the ALJ chose not to credit the testimony of Nurse Anderson—because, as the ALJ
specifically stated, Nurse Anderson observations were inconsistent with the
treatment records credited by the ALJ that reflected essentially unremarkable mental
status examinations, etc. The fact that there might have been other evidence that

could have been (but was not) credited by the ALJ that might have been consistent
with Nurse Anderson’s opinion does not undermine the magistrate judge’s
conclusion that there was substantial evidence to support the ALJ’s decision.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and
incorporated by reference in this Order.
2. The Social Security Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.
3. The Clerk shall enter judgment, stating: The Social Security
Commissioner’s decision is affirmed under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. §405(g).
4. The Clerk shall close the case file.
DONE AND ORDERED this 22nd day of December, 2025.
